AUSTRALIA: TEENAGER CHARGED WITH MURDER

A 13 year old boy appeared today before the Children's Court in Wyong, New South Was to be formally charged with the abduction and murder of a 3 year old toddler, Courtney Morley-Clarke. The little girl was abducted from home last night while her parents were asleep in another room. Her body was found in the morning in high grass some 300 meters from the house. Police recovered a knife and a heavy stone believed to be murder weapons. The Morley-Clarkes have lived in Point Clare with their children for at least 10 years and are a respected local family. The case, similar to the murder of little Jim Bolger by two boys in the United Kingdom, left Australia in deep shock. The boy suspect was remanded in custody pending a psychiatric examination.
