BREAKING: A 95-year-old woman who was Tasered by a NSW police officer has died in Cooma Hospital.
NSW Police have charged an officer after he allegedly Tasered 95-year-old Clare Nowland, who died in Cooma Hospital on Wednesday, one week after the incident.
“Our thoughts and condolences remain with those who were lucky enough to know, love, and be loved by Mrs Nowland during a life she led hallmarked by family, kindness and community,” the statement said.“Our sympathies and thoughts are also extended to the community of Cooma, Mrs Nowland’s friends, as well as the residents and carers at Cooma Yallambee Lodge,” she said in a statement.
Nowland, who suffered from dementia, was armed with a steak knife before White allegedly deployed his Taser on her once. She fell to the ground and hit her head.NSW Police Commissioner Karen Webb addressed the media, before her death, thanking the detectives who “worked around the clock” for the last seven days over the “nasty incident” involving Nowland.
White remains stood down from duties on full pay. Webb explained this was because White is innocent until proven guilty.

Ms Markson said this isn’t the first case of police brutality towards an elderly woman suffering from dementia. “I showed you the other night the awful footage the Guardian published of police handcuffing, twice, Rachel Grahame, who weighed just 45kg. “And now the sister of a young man who died after being tasered by police has also spoken publicly.
