Clare Nowland, a 95-year-old woman suffering from dementia, tragically died after being Tasered by former senior constable Kristian James Samuel White at Yallambee Lodge nursing home in Cooma in May 2023.

In November 2023, White was found guilty of manslaughter for the incident, which was recorded on CCTV and body-worn cameras, lasting between two to three minutes.

Following his conviction, White was dismissed from the NSW Police Force in December 2023 and is currently seeking to challenge this dismissal through the Industrial Relations Commission.

Lesley Lloyd, one of Clare's daughters, expressed her belief that the situation could have been resolved through dialogue instead of the aggressive response that led to her mother's injury.

Kim Lloyd, another granddaughter, confronted White directly in court, condemning his actions as disgraceful and unjust.

Michael Nowland, Clare's son, expressed his deep anger, stating he would never forgive White for his role in their mother's death.

Scott Nowland, a grandson, shared his heartbreak over the violent end to his grandmother's life, emphasizing that she deserved a peaceful passing.

Gemma Murphy, Clare's daughter, recounted her trauma in court, revealing that White's callous remarks during the incident continue to haunt her.

Gerard Nowland, Clare's youngest son, highlighted the stark contrast in size between his mother and White, criticizing the officer's inappropriate response.

Murphy further criticized White for his lack of compassion towards her mother, whom she described as helpless and defenseless.

Dennis Nowland, another son, lamented that their mother was failed by those meant to protect her, questioning the officer's competence.
