Protest Erupts in Guyana Following Death of Missing Child The tragic death of an eleven-year-old in Guyana has ignited violent protests, resulting in a hotel and a home being burned to the ground. Adrianna Younge, a resident of Tuschen, disappeared on Wednesday while at Double Day Hotel with relatives. The community launched a search party but faced resistance from the hotel owner and law enforcement when trying to thoroughly search the premises. Relatives were allowed to enter late Wednesday night, but their search was unsuccessful. Early Thursday morning, residents gathered in front of the hotel, burning tires and demanding answers from the owner. Shortly after, Adrianna's lifeless body was discovered in the hotel pool. This discovery sparked a series of events, including the destruction of the hotel and the owner's home by protesters. News Five’s Paul Lopez reports.
