Authorities discovered the body of a 10-year-old boy this morning in the Navua River, who had been previously reported missing after being swept away by a strong current. The tragic incident occurred on December 28 when the boy had been swimming with friends in the Raiwaqa River in Navua.
Police are actively conducting an investigation to determine the circumstances surrounding his disappearance and the subsequent recovery of his body.
This heartbreaking event serves as a reminder of the dangers associated with swimming in rivers, especially during periods of heavy rain or swift currents. Communities are encouraged to prioritize water safety and educate children about potential hazards in natural water bodies.
