G/town Mayor condemns all criminal behaviour 

See below full release from the Mayor of Georgetown, Alfred Mentore: 

In this hour of grief and uncertainty, I write to you not only as your mayor but as a member of a community that is mourning, questioning, and, above all, seeking justice.

The recent autopsy findings in the heartbreaking case of young Adriana Younge, who died under deeply suspicious circumstances, have shaken us, all, to our core. Her death is not only a tragedy but a painful reminder of the fragility of life and the responsibility we all share in safeguarding the dignity and safety of every citizen, especially our young people.

However, while we demand clarity, accountability, and answers, we must not allow our pain to spiral into chaos. In the hours following the autopsy report, our city has witnessed a troubling rise in criminal activity—acts born of anger, frustration, and perhaps even despair. I understand these
emotions. We all do. But violence will not bring Adriana back. It will only deepen the wounds we are struggling to heal. This is an important fact that must influence our actions to get to the bottom of this tragedy.

Let me be clear: we condemn all criminal behaviour, regardless of motive. Georgetown will not be held hostage by fear. We, at the city council, would take all lawful necessary measures to ensure public safety.

It is important that we walk a path where justice is pursued through lawful means and community action; not through destruction. Justice must not be driven by rage, but by serious and intentional resolve.

Therefore, I am calling for a period of calm, reflection, and collective mourning. I urge our faith leaders, civil society, youth groups, and families to come together in peace. Let us hold vigils, not riots. Let us raise voices, not weapons. Let us honor Adriana’s memory by fighting for a future where no parent buries a child under such suspicion or silence.

As a nation, let us seek the truth, let us demand justice. However, in all that we do we must preserve the unity and peace that are the heart of our beloved city
