Ex-NSW Police Officer Challenges Dismissal After Manslaughter Conviction

Kristian White has filed a legal appeal to review his removal from the police force after being found guilty of fatally Tasering a 95-year-old woman in 2023.

• Kristian White, a former NSW police officer, was found guilty of manslaughter in November for Tasering Clare Nowland, a 95-year-old woman, who later died from her injuries.
• White was dismissed from the NSW Police Force on December 3, with Commissioner Karen Webb citing a loss of confidence in his suitability as an officer.
