NT Supreme Court judge reserves decision on location of Zachary Rolfe murder trial
A Northern Territory Supreme Court judge has reserved his decision on whether or not to move the murder trial of Constable Zachary Rolfe to Darwin.
Key points:
- It’s not yet known where the murder trial of Constable Zachary Rolfe will be held
- The reasons for the defence application to move the trial have been suppressed
- The trial is set to run for five weeks from July 2021
Lawyers for Constable Rolfe made a change of venue application to the Supreme Court in November, arguing the murder trial should not be held in Alice Springs.
The Northern Territory’s only other Supreme Court is in Darwin, about 1,500 kilometres from the community of Yuendumu where Kumanjayi Walker died.
