Family refuses autopsy from government appointed pathologist 

The family and close relatives of Adrianna Younge have also refused to have a government appointed pathologist to perform the autopsy on Younge’s body.

President Ali’s posts regarding growing outrage in country 

This is to be noted that the President of Guyana, Dr Irfaan Ali personally went to condole the family of Adrianna Younge where he extended his support and prayed for Adrianna. 

However, following his visit, the President has shared another post related to the alleged incident and growing outrage in Guyana. In his post, he stated that inconveniencing citizens will not help Adrianna in any way.  

“There is no way blocking public roads, burning public infrastructure, and inconveniencing citizens will help little Adrianna's cause or those interested in the truth. These actions are now politically instigated and will not be accepted. They are unlawful and unhelpful, and action will be taken,” President Irfaan Ali wrote.  

Notably, the outrage among netizens for the alleged murder of Adrianna Younge is escalating intensely in Guyana. Residents are protesting and demanding justice for the young kid, meanwhile authorities are actively investigating the incident to find out the true suspect.
