Family Files Lawsuit Over Police Taser Incident Involving 95-Year-Old Great-Grandmother

The family of a 95-year-old great-grandmother who died after being tasered by Australian police is suing the state government. Clare Nowland, who suffered from dementia, was shot with an electronic stun gun at her nursing home in New South Wales. A civil claim has been brought against the government seeking damages for alleged battery and assault. A senior police constable has been charged in connection with the incident and is due in court in September. The family's lawyer stated that they will not comment further due to the ongoing criminal process.
