Former NSW Police officers learn fate after attack on mentally ill woman

In January 2023, the officers were called to Emu Plains Cul-de-Sac to help the 49-year-old woman who was naked and bathed in a puddle. The woman lived with her schizophrenia after her nearby Amber Laurel was released from her prison in the early hours of that day.

The body, which was previously shown in the court, started with the woman worn and CCTV images, sitting on a natural strip, swearing to the police and refusing to tell them. He told two flat -fuel police officers that he would “download both of them” and “the aliens watch”.

An officer told a woman that he would leave Nepean Hospital.

Orum I’m afraid of you, ı he shouted.

“You don’t have drugs to fix me, you don’t have medicines to extinguish me. You can’t beat me… This weapon will not help you.”

‘One of the worst examples contrary to our basic values and morality I have seen so far’

Commissioner Dave Hudson

The woman ran on the road. Since one of the officers fired pepper or OC, he was sitting in a cross -legged because he sprayed him in his face and vagina, praying for God’s protection.

The woman, who was covered with her own feces and spray, washed herself in the groove.

Black periodically opened and closed the camera, another clip officers caught.

“C —, wash your ass, wash,” Black said.

“F — What is happening?”

At one point, Black’s camera fell to the ground, screaming in the background, calling for prayer and pain, just the road and a pole of electricity.

Trautsch and Black dragged him along his hair and kicked it over and over and over and over his face, body and head. When rolling on the floor, they sprayed back with more pepper spray.

“This is enough, there may be cameras, Tr Trautsch Black warned.

NSW ambulance medical officers witnessed the attack and took the woman to the hospital before lifting the alarm. One asked Siyah that the woman was sprayed on her genital organ.

“Yes, you have to do what you need to do, B Black replied.

Turnbull, who made the court’s words, said that both men were “relatively experienced police officers at that time.

The authority did not demand additional police resources in the events despite their negativity. “ [the woman] Naked, there was no potentially any crime ”.

The judge said the couple did not attempt to interact with the woman ”.

“There was no courtesy,” he added that while the woman threatened, it was a reflection of their mental state and that the officers were “under any risk of damage despite serious damage”.

“With guilty satisfaction, it was not reasonable to perform a function of his behavior, or it was not a reasonable response to a threat they perceived. [the victim]Turn Turnbull said.

“They acknowledge that the use of OC spray does not mean a reasonable force.”

Turnbull said the police were trained to prevent a person not to use pepper spray in 90 centimeters and not to use them for “one pain purpose”.

“At that time or at any time, there was no contemplation to resort to another option except physical restrictions, and this is about it,” he said.

Turnbull refers to the “fighting çıkan that emerges unequal in any way, in shape or form”. [her] He’s trying to protect himself ”.

Turnbull said that the police officers should be seen strong enough to confront their demons and difficulties ”.

“Those who offer themselves to serve the community are reliable and expected not only to apply the law, but also to take it seriously,” he said.

“This is a very serious disturbing that does not require anything other than full -time custody”.

The court showed images of the attack caught with various CCTVs. Turnbull described a photograph as “rising attackers… This woman is trying to do her best.”

“This is one of the criminals who deliberately target abrasion and repel the OC spray. He speaks for himself.”

Turnbull praised the medical officials who marked their worries about the treatment of women to their managers and hospital staff for more investigations.

However, the judge also said that the positive character references of men who define them as “very popular” leaders who contribute to their families are “important issues ..

Orum I acknowledge that they have no convictions and that they are a good character before… These men are humiliated and will continue to be in the community, ”he said.

“I think that they have to endure the possibilities of revitalizing completely and their families have to endure the embarrassment they have imposed at home. In my opinion, they have excellent rehabilitation expectations.”

The court previously heard that Black had sent a part of the video to a colleague in Facebook Messenger: [footage] Very good, it shows that it is f —–. “

Black and Trautsch launched a claim of compensation against the NSW police, the first one was not supported on the trauma.

Doctors told the compensation court that black develops liver infection as the physical fluids of black bite. The Commission decided that he had been diagnosed with PTSB before the incident and should be paid while suspending.

Turnbull said that there is not a mitigating factor in any pre -existing mental health problem.

Trautsch and black were suspended at the beginning without paying. They resigned from the NSW police before they were officially fired.

The police immediately started an internal investigation and said, “Both civil servants were removed from the organization at the earliest opportunity”.

In the view of a previous court, Forerunner And other media organizations Matthew Lewis, SC, argued that the media should witness the images in the court to transmit the depth of abuse of the police to the public. Later, it was played in front of the families of journalists and civil servants.

Black will be suitable for conditional release on November 7, 2028. Trautsch will be released on August 7, 2028.
