A two-year-old girl, who was staying with relatives at Grant Atlas, Lower Pomeroon River, drowned early Christmas morning, police said.
The body of Zoria Seegobin was found in a nearby trench, and investigators are treating the incident as a drowning.
The Guyana Police Force did not say if anyone was detained to assist with the “ongoing” investigation.
