A man has been charged with the murder of a five-year-old Australian Indigenous girl in central Australia, an event that triggered riots outside a hospital and protests involving roughly 400 Indigenous people near Alice Springs. The suspect, 47-year-old Jefferson Lewis with prior assault convictions and recently released from prison, was reportedly beaten unconscious by locals before his arrest on Saturday evening. Northern Territory Police described the circumstances as horrific, with Lewis scheduled to appear in Darwin court on Tuesday.
