Forensic testing confirmed two DNA profiles on a pair of children's underwear found near the camp — one belonging to the girl and one to Lewis. NT Police Assistant Commissioner Peter Malley said investigators believe Lewis murdered the child.

Lewis was found unconscious after residents of a town camp beat him before police arrived. He was taken to Alice Springs Hospital, where a crowd of around 400 people gathered, setting fire to a police vehicle and damaging ambulances and other emergency vehicles.

Police used tear gas to disperse the crowd outside Alice Springs Hospital. Lewis was subsequently flown to Darwin for his safety and that of emergency service workers, with NT Police Commissioner Martin Dole describing the scene as "absolute anarchy."

Senior Warlpiri elder Robin Granites, a family spokesperson, called for calm following the unrest. Indigenous women and girls face disproportionately higher rates of homicide and family violence than non-Indigenous women, according to a federal senate inquiry.
