Kumanjayi White died in police custody at a supermarket in Alice Springs, Central Australia. White’s grandfather, Warlpiri leader Ned Hargraves, said the 24-year-old was held down by two police until he lost consciousness. Hargraves said his grandson had been living in supported accommodation because of disabilities. “He needed support and not to be criminalised because of his disability,” he said. The Northern Territory Police Force said last week that White “stopped breathing” after he was “restrained” by two plainclothes police officers.
