In the red dirt of a dried-out Alice Springs creek bed lies a mangled children’s pram, a pink unicorn toy and a pair of blue latex gloves.

It’s all that remains from the scene near Charles Creek Camp where an angry mob set upon accused child killer Jefferson Lewis on Thursday night.

The 47-year-old was bashed to “within an inch of his life” after allegedly turning up at the camp with a pram in tow after five days on the run from police.

On Sunday afternoon news.com.au visited the site, a few hundred meters from the camp entrance road, where remnants of the disturbing scene remained scattered in the dirt.

A pink and black child’s pram lay bent and broken less than 20 metres away from nearby homes.

Evidence of the emergency response was also still visible, including pairs of rubber gloves, discarded bandages, face masks and medical scissors believed to have been used by paramedics at the scene.

Hoppys Camp resident Angus Norman told NT News Lewis was pushing a pram when “young fellas saw him and bashed him”.

“A couple of young fellas told me they had chased him from Hungry Jack’s.”

The fast food store is a few hundred meters up the road from the site where authorities reached Lewis.
