Statement from Acting Commissioner of NT Police Martin Dole | NT Police, Fire & Emergency Services
The Northern Territory Police Force acknowledges the tragic death of a 24-year-old man in Alice Springs on Tuesday. On behalf of NT Police, I extend sincere condolences to his family, friends and community. I contacted both officers directly involved in the incident on Tuesday evening, and I understand the high level of public interest in this matter. However, I respectfully reject calls for the investigation to be handed to an external body.
