Aboriginal Woman Brutal Death In Custody Exposes Australia's Shame
- The harrowing clip from Aug. 4, 2014, shows police officers dragging Ms. Dhu, who appears to be unconscious. An hour later she was dead. She was 22 years old. Ms. Dhu was reportedly arrested over unpaid fines of $2,626 in South Hedland, Western Australia, only two days before she died in custody. During her detention, Ms. Dhu complained about pain in her ribs. Although she was taken to the hospital at least twice, coroner Ros Fogliani claimed a chest X-ray was not performed nor was her temperature taken.
