Body of Mauritanian child founds in sanitation

A Four days after his disappearance, Mauritanian child Sayyed Ahmed was found dead inside the sanitation of his family’s home in Nouakchott on Friday.

The disappearance of Sayyed Ahmed, 5, captured the attention of Mauritanians on social media, since Monday, while the security authorities participated in the extensive searches.

The Public Prosecutor’s Office refused to allow the body to be buried and ordered that the body of the young man be retained for further investigation.
