11-YEAR-OLD GIRL FOUND DEAD IN VILLAGE PARK AFTER FAMILY’S PREVIOUS TRAGEDY

A quiet village in Worcestershire has been left devastated after an 11-year-old girl was found dead near a local cricket club, just hours after her family reported her missing.

The girl, identified locally as Miya Deamer-Jones, was reported missing at around 11:20 p.m. Sunday after she failed to return home. Her family had searched the surrounding village before contacting police. Officers later discovered her body near Elmley Castle Cricket Club, only a short distance from her home.

The heartbreaking discovery has brought even more sorrow to Miya’s family. Her father reportedly died from cancer about three years ago, and people who knew the family said Miya had deeply missed him. She lived with her mother and sisters and was remembered by people in the community as a lively, caring child who looked after her younger siblings.

Residents are now trying to make sense of what happened. One local resident said they had seen people carrying flashlights near the cricket nets at around 7:45 p.m., several hours before Miya was reported missing. Police are aware of the reports but have not suggested that the people seen with flashlights were connected to her death.

West Mercia Police are treating Miya’s death as unexplained while investigators work to establish the circumstances. Importantly, police have said they are not currently looking for a third party in connection with the death and have stated that there is no indication of a wider threat to the community.

Meanwhile, the small community has come together to remember Miya. Flowers, cards and soft toys have been left near a bench close to the scene, including an emotional message from one of her school friends. Her death has left classmates, neighbors and friends struggling to understand how such a tragedy could happen in their peaceful village.

As police continue their investigation, many questions remain unanswered—including what happened after Miya left home and what occurred in the hours before she was found.
