Police officers searched the Addolorata Cemetery and its surroundings yesterday evening after a 12-year-old girl was reported missing.

The girl, who was wearing a San Ġorġ Preca College uniform, did not return home after school on Thursday. At one point she was spotted near the Addolorata enquiring where she could catch a bus to Żebbuġ.

Police officers were deployed to that area yesterday and were instructed to look also inside the cemetery itself.

The girl had still not been traced at the time of writing.
