Breaking: Kumanjayi Little Baby's father jailed for more than three years for DV
The father of five-year-old Kumanjayi Little Baby has been handed a jail sentence of more than three years for aggravated assault, for offences committed against the girl's mother.
Kumanjayi Little Baby's father, Raphael Granites, has been sentenced to more than three years in jail for aggravated assault committed against the girl's mother. The charges arose after his daughter went missing from a town camp in Alice Springs on Anzac Day. Jefferson Lewis, 47, has been charged with Kumanjayi's murder. At the Alice Springs Local Court, Granites pleaded guilty to two counts of aggravated assault, with the alleged incidents occurring on April 9 and 22.
The court heard that the girl's mother read a victim impact statement, and the judge imposed a 20-year domestic violence order. Granites will be eligible for parole in June 2028.
