Protests erupt in Australia following death of Indigenous 5-year-old

Hundreds of protesters clashed with Australian police after a 47-year-old man was accused of abducting and killing a five-year-old Indigenous girl.

The crowd assembled outside a Northern Territory hospital where they believed the suspect, Jefferson Lewis, was being treated. He has now been arrested and transferred nearly a thousand miles north for his own safety, News.Az reports, citing foreign media.

The girl, who was named by her family as Kumanjayi Little Baby, was found dead on Thursday afternoon.
