A senior constable who fatally tasered a 95-year-old dementia patient in an aged care home has dodged a 7NEWS reporter’s questions as he’s seen in public for the first time since he was removed from the force.
Kristian White was found guilty in the NSW Supreme Court last week of the manslaughter of Clare Nowland.

The 34-year-old was approached by 7NEWS reporter Annie Pullar on Thursday afternoon.

Steely-faced, White avoided questions on whether he had a message for Nowland’s family, and whether he was prepared for prison as he walked to his car and drove off.
He discharged his stun gun at Nowland in a treatment room at Yallambee Lodge nursing home in the southern NSW town of Cooma during the early hours of May 17, 2023.
The great-grandmother hit her head as she fell and died in hospital a week later.
On Tuesday, Police Commissioner Karen Webb said White had now been removed from the force following a review of his employment.
“Today I have determined that I do not have confidence in the officer’s suitability to continue as a police officer, in line with the procedure mandated under the Police Act,” Webb said.
“Accordingly, I have removed him from the NSW Police Force and he has been advised via his legal counsel.
“I have spoken with the family of the 95-year-old victim involved in this matter and advised them of my decision.”
Police and paramedics were called to Nowland’s nursing home after the great-grandmother grabbed two steak knives from a kitchen and brandished them at residents and staff before throwing one at a carer.
White pulled the Taser’s trigger after three minutes of negotiations to get her to put down the remaining knife, arguing she had raised the blade towards anyone who approached and posed a potential threat.
He was heard in video footage played at his trial saying “nah, bugger it” before shooting Nowland in the torso.
She hit her head on the floor as she fell and died at Cooma Hospital a week later.
White was suspended from duties with pay during his trial but was removed from the payroll a day after his guilty verdict.
The case has been listed for a sentence hearing on February 7.
