Bentong chalet tragedy: Woman's body found, two more still missing

 


The body of a woman, believed to be one of the three individuals who went missing after being swept away by strong river currents near a chalet in Bentong, Pahang, was found this morning.

Genting Highlands Fire and Rescue Station chief Yusri Abdullah Sani said the body was found at 10.15am and the search and rescue (SAR) team took about half an hour to remove the victim who was buried under a pile of logs and sand at Station 2 (the area where victims of the tragedy are believed to be).

“Today, the team will use two excavators to locate the victims who are feared missing,” he told Bernama at the scene.

Yusri said so far, the SAR team had marked three stations for the operation where Station 1 was believed to be the location where the six-year-old boy Emanuel Chang went missing while Station 3 is located on the river bank.

Last Saturday, over 30 individuals including nine children faced anxious moments when they were caught in the mudslide while visiting a chalet near Bentong.

Besides the boy, a couple, Bobby Lim Yoke Hoong and Yap Koon Lau were also reported missing in the tragedy.
