SBS News通过信息自由申请获得的内部备忘录显示，北领地警方在24岁原住民男子Kumanjayi White于羁押中死亡后，等待四个月才向北领地公共检察署提交意见文件，最终检方以证据不足为由决定不对涉事两名便衣警察提起刑事指控 1。时任北领地公共检察署代理主任Patrick Williams在2026年5月26日的内部备忘录中宣布，基于警方提供的证据，没有合理前景对任何指控定罪 1。
Kumanjayi White是一名24岁的Warlpiri原住民男子，患有残疾，于去年5月在Alice Springs一家超市糖果过道被两名便衣警察约束后死亡 1。北领地警方在White死亡四个月后，即2025年9月，才提交上述意见文件 1。检方在收到意见文件后数日内要求警方获取一份关于逮捕中使用武力的独立报告，该报告最终由昆士兰警方完成 1。
White的家属曾于北领地最高法院发起法律诉讼要求透明度和独立调查，后于本月撤回，此前警方披露了一名涉事警官的姓名和警衔 1。北领地验尸官Elisabeth Armitage将于明年四月进行为期四周的死因研讯 1。此外，原住民和托雷斯海峡岛民社会正义专员Katie Kiss呼吁对羁押死亡事件进行独立调查，强调警察不应调查警察 1。
An internal memo obtained through freedom of information requests reveals that the Northern Territory Police waited four months to submit a brief of evidence to the NT Director of Public Prosecutions following the death of Kumanjayi White in custody, after which prosecutors ultimately decided not to charge the two involved plainclothes officers due to insufficient evidence 1. White, a 24-year-old Warlpiri Aboriginal man with a disability, died in May last year after being restrained by the two officers in the candy aisle of an Alice Springs supermarket 1. The police submitted the brief of evidence to the NT DPP in September 2025 1. Within days of receiving the brief, prosecutors asked the police to obtain an independent report on the use of force during the arrest, which was eventually completed by the Queensland Police 1.
In an internal memo dated May 26, 2026, then-Acting Director of Public Prosecutions Patrick Williams announced that there was no reasonable prospect of conviction for any charges based on the evidence provided by the police 1. White's family had previously launched legal proceedings in the NT Supreme Court demanding transparency and an independent investigation, but they withdrew the case this month after police disclosed the name and rank of one of the involved officers 1. NT Coroner Elisabeth Armitage will conduct a four-week inquest into the death starting in April next year 1. Meanwhile, Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Social Justice Commissioner Katie Kiss has called for an independent investigation into deaths in custody, stressing that police should not investigate police 1.
