Missing East Bank girl found with injuries

Police are investigating the alleged kidnapping of an 18-year-old East Bank Demerara (EBD) girl, who was found with injuries about her body yesterday afternoon, one day after she went missing.

The teenager’s father last night told Stabroek News that she was found on the Kitty seawall around 6.30 pm yesterday by an individual who is known to the family.

He said the teenager’s body bore burns, her hair had been chopped off and it is suspected that she was sexually assaulted. “She got a lot of marks of violence. Burn, like when them take something hot and burn her. They cut off her hair,” the man said.
