Australia’s youngest killer is back behind bars less than a month after his release, charged with breaching his extended supervision orders and possessing child abuse material.

The man, who can only be identified as “SLD” for legal reasons, served 20 years behind bars for killing three-year-old Courtney Morley-Clarke on the NSW Central Coast in 2001 when he was 13.

Now 38 years old, SLD was released from custody last month on March 15.

He was refused bail and appeared in Campbelltown Local Court today.
