Kristian White , who was found guilty of the manslaughter of great-grandmother Clare Nowland , has been removed from the NSW Police Force.
Commissioner Karen Webb says she no longer has confidence in White's "suitability to continue as a police officer". "I have spoken with the family of the 95-year-old victim involved in this matter and advised them of my decision."The family of Clare Nowland described the decision as "too little, too late" in a statement issued via lawyer Sam Tierney.
The defence argued that White’s actions were not disproportionate to the threat Mrs Nowland posed at the time and said he was preventing a breach of the peace in his role as a police officer.Photo shows elderly woman wearing a red cardigan and sitting in an armchair in front of a pot with flowers, looking up at the camera
