The commander of the New South Wales State Police, Mick Trout, urged officers not to talk to former policeman Christian Lehrmann, who is accused of murdering his colleague and accused members of the New South Wales police of corruption.
During the trial, Trout stated that he instructed all officers not to talk to Lehrmann without his presence. Earlier, Lehrmann’s defense asked the police to provide them with access to documents related to the murder in order to evaluate witness testimony, but this request was rejected.
Lehrmann’s defence also claimed that the police were pursuing him for no reason and that she had provided evidence of corruption in the New South Wales Police Force that had not been punished. However, Trout denies all these accusations and considers them groundless.
Christian Lehrmann was charged with the murder of his colleague Kerri-Ann Kennedy in 2019. Lehrmann’s case is of great interest in Australia because he accuses the New South Wales Police of corruption and claims that they have secret documents related to this murder. He also claims that his charges are related to his investigation into police corruption.
The trial is ongoing and the next hearing is scheduled for next week. Lehrmann’s defense continues to demand the transfer of documents related to the murder in order to confirm its accusations of corruption. However, the police and the prosecutor’s office do not consider these documents necessary for the trial and are not going to hand them over to the defense.
Lehrmann’s future is uncertain, and he may end up in prison for the murder of his colleague. However, his allegations of corruption raise questions and require a thorough investigation.
