Clare Nowland’s daughter asks to watch video of alleged Tasering

The daughter of Clare Nowland, the 95-year-old woman who died a week after allegedly being Tasered by NSW Police at Yallambee Lodge aged care home in Cooma, 114km south of Canberra, has asked to see police footage of the incident as part of the family’s civil case against the state. Clare’s family has filed a civil case against the State of NSW for trespass to the person (assault and battery) and negligence, the Sydney Morning Herald has reported. Last week, the Nowland family’s lawyer, Peter Tierney, told the District Court in Sydney that Leslie Lloyd, Clare’s daughter, is asking NSW Police for permission to see the video footage. The application is being sought to try to “assuage the grief and lack of understanding and comprehension” she was experiencing, Peter said. In May, Senior Constable Kristian White was charged with recklessly causing grievous bodily harm to Clare and two counts of assault. His case will return to court in December.
