Australian man taken to hospital for self-inflicted injuries before being interviewed and charged with various offences related to the abduction, police in Western Australia state say
Australian police charged a 36-year-old man on Thursday with abducting a four-year-old girl from an outback campsite 18 days before she was found safe in a locked house.
Her disappearance triggered an extensive search by land and air, along with roadblocks and scouring of CCTV footage., a town about 100 km south of the campsite on the far northwest coast of the state. The house is 3 km from her family home, media said. Police released an audio recording of their entry into the house and the discovery of the girl in a room. “We’ve got her. We’ve got her,” an officer could be heard saying.
Specialist child interviewers would speak with her, and authorities had instructed her parents on how to talk to her to preserve her memory, authorities said.
