Terence Darrell Kelly has pleaded guilty to abducting four-year-old Cleo Smith while she was on a camping trip with her family
The 36-year-old was dramatically arrested in the West Australian coastal town of Carnarvon in the early hours of November 3 — 18 days after the young girl vanished from the family tent at the remote Quobba Blowholes campsite.
The shackles were put in place after Kelly had to be hospitalised twice with self-inflicted injuries while in custody, police said.
