Sev­er­al peo­ple blocked a sec­tion of Mid­dle Street out­side the George­town Pub­lic Hos­pi­tal (GPH) mor­tu­ary on Mon­day as three for­eign foren­sic pathol­o­gists were con­duct­ing an au­top­sy on 11-year-old Adri­an­na Young, whose body was found in a ho­tel pool at Tuschen, East Bank Es­se­qui­bo last Thurs­day.

The pro­tes­tors, beat­ing drums, chant­i­ng slo­gans and ring­ing a bell,  called for jus­tice for the child whose death has rocked the hearts of Guyanese across the di­vides of pol­i­tics, race, cul­ture and re­li­gion.

A CT scan had been con­duct­ed ear­li­er on Younge’s body be­fore it was trans­port­ed to the GPH mor­tu­ary for the au­top­sy ex­pect­ed to take over four hours to be com­plet­ed.
