A 47-year-old man, Jefferson Lewis, has been charged with the murder of five-year-old Kumanjayi Little Baby in Australia's Northern Territory. The girl's death led to protests by around 400 Indigenous people. Lewis, who has a history of physical assault and was recently released from prison, was arrested after being found unconscious. The girl's body was discovered following a search in dense bushland. Police used tear gas to disperse angry crowds demanding justice, resulting in several arrests.
