The search for a 13-year old girl who was last seen in Lija on Friday night has been called off after she returned home, her family said on Saturday afternoon.

Darija Mihajlovic went missing on Friday night, according to her brother Aleksa who requested the public’s help via a social media post.

The girl was last seen in Lija wearing a white top, black trousers and a small black bag.

Writing on the Expats Malta Facebook group, Aleksa said there had been “no fight with the family” and her friends said they do not know anything. He added he did not believe Darija had met anyone online.

On Saturday afternoon, Darija returned safely home. Her brother told Times of Malta Darija had "run away with her friends".

He said he had managed to log into her Instagram account and encouraged her friends to send her home.
