The Independent Police Conduct Authority is considering reopening its inquiry into the police shooting of Rotorua man Shargin Stephens.
Stephens was shot and killed after smashing up a police car with a weed slasher. It comes as RNZ has uncovered yet more holes in the IPCA report into the 2016 death of the 35-year-old Māori man, which found police actions were justified.
The IPCA has also admitted today that it has known for some time that a section of video was missing from police taser camera footage taken right before the shooting - an issue that was entirely absent from its report.
Guyon Espiner has the new developments.
