Now I want 5 00:00:09,360 --> 00:00:11,319 Speaker 1: to ask you. First off, we know that a man 6 00:00:11,360 --> 00:00:17,079 Speaker 1: died after a horrific incident in Rosebery on Friday. Investigators 7 00:00:17,120 --> 00:00:20,079 Speaker 1: from the Joint Anti Child Abuse Task Force attended that 8 00:00:20,120 --> 00:00:23,160 Speaker 1: home to execute a search warrant. Now, during the warrant, 9 00:00:23,239 --> 00:00:25,119 Speaker 1: we know a sixty two year old man grabbed a 10 00:00:25,160 --> 00:00:30,000 Speaker 1: knife and stabbed himself in the chest multiple times, at 11 00:00:30,000 --> 00:00:34,080 Speaker 1: no point threatened the Northern Territory or AFP officers, as 12 00:00:34,200 --> 00:00:38,040 Speaker 1: I understand it. What's the latest on this situation? 13 00:00:38,800 --> 00:00:42,120 Speaker 2: So, yeah, you're right, we went there. The warrant was 14 00:00:42,920 --> 00:00:47,199 Speaker 2: about gathering evidence in relation to offenses. So yep, he 15 00:00:47,680 --> 00:00:51,360 Speaker 2: grabbed a knife, self harmed with that right, no threats, 16 00:00:51,400 --> 00:00:54,480 Speaker 2: took police or anything like that, stabbed himself multiple times 17 00:00:54,520 --> 00:01:00,920 Speaker 2: in the chest. Unfortunately, he died at the scene and 18 00:01:01,200 --> 00:01:05,160 Speaker 2: that triggers a death in custody investigation, which major Crime 19 00:01:05,280 --> 00:01:08,319 Speaker 2: will be conducting right now with the overside of the 20 00:01:08,600 --> 00:01:10,000 Speaker 2: Professional Standards Command. 21 00:01:10,200 --> 00:01:12,000 Speaker 1: Peter, are you able to tell us I know at 22 00:01:12,040 --> 00:01:14,560 Speaker 1: the press conference after that incident, police weren't able to 23 00:01:14,600 --> 00:01:17,280 Speaker 1: say what the search warrant was in relation to. Are 24 00:01:17,319 --> 00:01:19,560 Speaker 1: you able to provide any further info than. 25 00:01:19,560 --> 00:01:22,800 Speaker 2: That just said it was to gather evidence in relation 26 00:01:22,880 --> 00:01:23,839 Speaker 2: to offenses. 27 00:01:23,480 --> 00:01:27,440 Speaker 1: Katie, Okay. In terms of who was there, my understanding 28 00:01:27,520 --> 00:01:29,200 Speaker 1: is that the man's wife was at home at the 29 00:01:29,240 --> 00:01:32,400 Speaker 1: time of that incident. Was she the only other person there? 30 00:01:32,560 --> 00:01:34,280 Speaker 2: Correct? She was the only other person present. 31 00:01:34,400 --> 00:01:37,440 Speaker 1: Coady, How are the first responders going because this does 32 00:01:37,480 --> 00:01:40,399 Speaker 1: sound like an absolutely horrific incident. 33 00:01:40,840 --> 00:01:44,160 Speaker 2: Yeah, for sure, it's a traumatic event. You know, the 34 00:01:45,319 --> 00:01:48,400 Speaker 2: police detectives tried to stop the man from harming himself. 35 00:01:49,200 --> 00:01:51,960 Speaker 2: One of the officers suffered a cut to his thumb 36 00:01:52,040 --> 00:01:55,600 Speaker 2: from that. But yeah, you're right, So it'll take them 37 00:01:55,640 --> 00:01:59,720 Speaker 2: a little while to you know, basically deal with that. 38 00:02:00,120 --> 00:02:03,320 Speaker 2: But we have well being services and psychologists that we 39 00:02:03,360 --> 00:02:06,720 Speaker 2: work with closely, and so those members affected by that 40 00:02:06,800 --> 00:02:09,960 Speaker 2: traumatic event will go and speak with them and hopefully 41 00:02:09,960 --> 00:02:11,120 Speaker 2: they're okay going forward. 42 00:02:11,280 --> 00:02:14,560 Speaker 1: But just with I mean, like just reading into this, 43 00:02:15,160 --> 00:02:17,720 Speaker 1: like the fact that the investigators from the Joint Anti 44 00:02:17,800 --> 00:02:21,680 Speaker 1: Child Abused Task Force were there. Obviously we know that 45 00:02:21,760 --> 00:02:25,160 Speaker 1: this man has now taken his own life, and we 46 00:02:25,240 --> 00:02:28,200 Speaker 1: know that major crime are investigating and death in custody. 47 00:02:28,240 --> 00:02:31,880 Speaker 1: But what happens with you know, was there another investigation 48 00:02:32,000 --> 00:02:35,160 Speaker 1: also underway or is there still further sort of investigating 49 00:02:35,560 --> 00:02:38,919 Speaker 1: in terms of whatever. The investigators from the Joint Anti 50 00:02:39,000 --> 00:02:41,200 Speaker 1: Child Abuse Task Force were at. 51 00:02:41,040 --> 00:02:44,560 Speaker 2: The house for yeah, so I imagine having done them 52 00:02:44,600 --> 00:02:49,880 Speaker 2: before once if this person was a suspect or the offender. 53 00:02:50,240 --> 00:02:54,440 Speaker 2: Once he's now deceased, that investigation might run its course 54 00:02:54,480 --> 00:02:56,359 Speaker 2: in relation to some other things. But as far as 55 00:02:56,360 --> 00:02:59,200 Speaker 2: putting him before the courts, obviously that is ended. 56 00:03:00,000 --> 00:03:02,959 Speaker 1: All right, let's move along. There is certainly a lot 57 00:03:03,040 --> 00:03:07,040 Speaker 1: happening around the place now in terms of a stolen vehicle. 58 00:03:07,160 --> 00:03:10,360 Speaker 1: So six adult males and two mail youths were arrested 59 00:03:10,360 --> 00:03:13,160 Speaker 1: following a stolen motor vehicle and pursued in the Greater 60 00:03:13,280 --> 00:03:16,480 Speaker 1: Darwin area on Saturday night.
