SERDANG: A body, believed to be the last missing person in the Kota Perdana water surge incident has been found this morning.
Serdang district police chief Assistant Commissioner A.A Anbalagan confirmed the discovery of a body. However, he could not provide more details pending an identification process by the next of kin.
"A body has been found this morning and identification of the body is in progress," he said adding more details will be known upon completion of the identification process.
A family of five were swept away during a water surge incident in a monsoon drain in Jalan KP 4/9 Kota Perdana in Seri Kembangan, here on Sunday.
The Indonesian family had gone to the area to go fishing.
In the incident which occurred at about 5pm, a sudden water surge in the monsoon drain caused Ahmad Suriadi, his wife and three children aged between four and 10, to slip at the location and be swept into a river in Kota Perdana.
Ahmad Suriadi, who survived, contacted the MERS999 hotline for help. One of his three children, nine-year-old Mohd Alif, was found safe by members of the public at 5.30pm.
At 7pm, the body of one of his sons, Mohd Diham, 10, was found about one kilometre from the location where they fell.
Yesterday, the Selangor Fire and Rescue Department recovered the body of Ahmad Suriadi's wife Juliana, 38, at 1.18pm at Lombong D'Island near Taman Lacattage, Putra Perdana, which is about seven kilometres from the area where the incident happened.
The only victim still unaccounted for is the couple's four-year-old daughter Riska Amelia.
