BODY of Missing 12-Year-Old Schoolgirl Mariah Seenath Found In Ste. Madeleine


UPDATE (22/09/25): An autopsy performed on 12-year-old Mariah Seenath confirmed she was beaten and died from blunt force trauma to the head, following the discovery of her body near the Friendship Village Recreation Ground.



The body of a missing girl was found in a track near her home in Ste. Madeleine on Saturday afternoon (20th September, 2025). The deceased has been identified as 12-year-old schoolgirl Mariah Seenath. Her distraught father, Marlon Seenath, believes she was murdered after leaving his home and is calling for justice.
According to reports, Officers from the Ste. Madeleine Police Station were notified of a motionless body lying along a track near the Friendship Village Recreation Ground at Cipero Road, Ste. Madeleine, around 12:55 PM. Upon arrival, Officers met a woman who said she was walking through the area around 12:50 PM, when she saw several dogs nearby. After investigating, she discovered the body of a young girl lying on her back with what appeared to be a bruise to her stomach and grass around her neck.

The girl was subsequently identified as Mariah Seenath, a Form Three stu­dent at San Fer­nan­do East Sec­ondary School. 

Seenath reportedly left her grandmother’s home at Cipero Road, around 7:00 AM on Saturday morning to return to her father’s home in Hillview, Friendship Village, using the same track where her body was later found.

A District Medical Officer (DMO) also visited the scene, pronounced Seenath dead and ordered her body removed to the San Fernando General Hospital mortuary for safekeeping, pending a post-mortem at the Forensic Science Centre in St. James.

Investigations are continuing. 

More on this as it becomes available.
