Hāwera police officers charged with manslaughter

From Morning Report, 7:44 am on 4 June 2020

Three Hāwera police officers will appear in court again in three weeks on charges of manslaughter.

In a rare move, the officers have been charged with manslaughter after a 55-year-old man died in custody at the Hāwera Police Station in June last year.

Reporter Robin Martin has been covering the case and speaks to Corin Dann.
