Richard Rolfe, father of former constable who shot and killed Kumanjayi Walker, suggests NT government lacks the desire to investigate alleged institutional racism within the force Follow our Australia news live blog for latest updates Get our breaking news email, free app or daily news podcast The father of Zachary Rolfe, the former NT police officer who shot and killed Warlpiri man Kumanjayi Walker, has told a federal government inquiry that more must be done to weed racists from the ranks. Former constable Rolfe shot and killed Walker while trying to arrest him on 9 November 2019 in Yuendumu, about 300km from Alice Springs. Walker, 19, stabbed Rolfe with a pair of scissors shortly before he was shot by the then constable.
