The Northern Territory anti-corruption watchdog has cleared former chief minister Michael Gunner of political interference allegations over the decision to charge a policeman with an Indigenous teenager’s murder.

Former constable Zachary Rolfe was acquitted of murdering Kumanjayi Walker, 19, who he shot three times and killed during a bungled outback arrest at Yuendumu in 2019.
