A registered nurse working night shift at a nursing home when a police officer tasered a resident said she was “very, very concerned” when the weapon was used on the woman. Senior Constable Kristian James Samuel White shot his stun gun at great-grandmother Clare Nowland at Yallambee Lodge in the southern NSW town of Cooma in the early hours of May 17, 2023. The 95-year-old hit her head on the floor when she fell and had an inoperable bleed on the brain, dying at Cooma Hospital a week later.
Baker described her feelings earlier that night when Nowland had raised a knife at her in the nursing home’s darkened corridors. “Were you scared or concerned when that knife was pointed at you?” crown prosecutor Brett Hatfield SC asked. “No, I was concerned about her going around to other places and other rooms, that something could happen to other residents,” she said.
