Funeral plans are under way for Mariah Seenath, a Form Three San Fernando East Secondary student who was found in some bushes near the Friendship Recreation Ground, Ste Madeleine, on September 20.

An autopsy on September 22 confirmed the 14 year old died from blunt force trauma to her head. Her father, Marlon, 40, told Newsday he was in the middle of making the necessary arrangements. He said it will be held on September 27, but a time has not yet been determined. He hopes to confirm a time with the funeral home by September 25.

Relatives said Mariah was last seen on the morning of September 20 as she left her Friendship Village home shortly after doing some chores. Moments earlier, she had returned from her grandmother's Cipeiro Road home. She was found in some bushes off a track, which her father said she and her relatives would often use as a shortcut.
