Alleged murderer's bail in limbo as Tiwi Islands town erupts in riots

Lawyers are preparing legal action against a Tiwi Islands town manager after she blocked Justin Bukulatjpi, 20, charged with murder, from living there despite court approval. Around 100 people rioted against his arrival in Wurrumiyanga last week. Justice Judith Kelly ruled the unrest "absolutely unacceptable" and said appropriate legal avenues exist to challenge the manager's decision, not community riots.
