A three-year-old girl from Sefwi Akuraa, a farming community in Ghana, has been found dead after going missing for three days.
Her body was discovered floating in an abandoned galamsey pit, raising concerns about the dangers of illegal mining in the area.
The girl, who was playing with other children on Friday afternoon, vanished without a trace. After a frantic search by the community, her lifeless body was found on Sunday in one of the many galamsey pits that dot the landscape.
