A 6-year-old girl was raped and murdered before she was stuffed in a plastic bag and left in a barrel, police in Trinidad have confirmed.
Keyana Cumberbatch, a pupil of St Barbara’s Shouter Baptist Primary School, went missing around 5.20pm on Monday.
She was on her way to her grandmother’s apartment, located just metres away from where she lived in Maloney, Port of Spain.
The child was being looked after by a male relative prior to her disappearance, local media has reported.
Keyana’s mother, Simone Williams, 27, said she was only made aware of her daughter’s disappearance after she made a call to her mother – who said the child never showed up at her apartment.
She was discovered in a barrel located in her family’s apartment in Maloney on Friday, according to Stabroek News
Residents who smelt the decay called police who made the discovery, the website adds.
An autopsy revealed that the girl died of massive trauma to the head.
