Police have charged a 47-year-old man with the murder of Kumanjayi Little Baby, following his arrest earlier this week.
The man has been charged with one count of murder and two counts of sexual assault since being detained on Thursday.
The body of the five-year-old girl was discovered at around midday on Thursday by police, approximately 5km from where she had disappeared days before.
The 47-year-old is expected to appear in Darwin Local Court on Tuesday.
There have been additional arrests relating to "riotous behaviour" in Alice Springs, where police say resulted in over $180,000 in damages and losses on Thursday.
Five people have now been arrested, police confirmed on Sunday, after a service station and supermarket were allegedly damaged and burgled.
"Following a review into CCTV and media outlet footage, five people aged 18, 26, 34, 46 and 49 have all been arrested and remain in custody with charges expected to follow," local police said in a statement.
"Further offenders have been identified, and multiple arrests are expected to be made in coming days."
