Rescue teams today retrieved the body of an 8-year-old boy, who went missing after slipping into a river at Kampung Sedani in Tawau, Sabah two days ago.

Mohd Azizan Rosli’s body was discovered under a pile of debris in the river behind his family’s home at about 11.30am.

In a statement today, state Fire and Rescue Department said firefighters were alerted of the discovery and rushed to the scene to retrieve the body.
