The United States Ambassador to Guyana, Nicole Theriot, appealed today for peace and the rule of law, as the Caribbean country gets ready to say a final goodbye to 11-year-old Adriana Younge, whose body was found in a swimming pool as a hotel late last month.
Younge is scheduled to be buried on Monday. Her family has confirmed the date and is urging the public to remain peaceful and avoid any protests.
An autopsy conducted by three internationally respected pathologists last week had concluded that Younge died by drowning, but there have been calls for an international probe into the death of the child with several political parties and civil society actors dismissing a report from President Irfaan Ali that Younge did not die from “forceful drowning”.
