The Double Day Hotel on the Tuschen Public Road, East Bank, Essequibo, Guyana was set on fire Thursday morning by irate villagers after the body of missing 11-year-old girl, Adrianna Younge, was found in the pool.
Angry residents also set on fire the home of the hotel’s owner.
The house is located three streets away from the hotel.
Residents of the area were upset at the way the search for the girl was handled.
There are questions about whether the pool had been properly searched for the girl after she went missing.
Police on Wednesday said their video surveillance system showed that Adrianna Younge entered a red and black Toyota Raum motor car bearing registration number PSS 4684, which drove off in an eastern direction towards Vreed-en-Hoop.
The hotel was searched on Wednesday by family members and later by police.
Police said they searched around the hotel, including rooms, storeroom, yard, and roof, but they came up empty-handed.
However, the hotel manager said the surveillance cameras at the facility were not working when he was asked by investigators.
Someone was heard saying, “we searched the pool, we searched the pool yesterday (Wednesday)”.
