FRANCISTOWN: The body of a missing girl aged one year and eight months was recovered on Friday morning after three days of searching. On Tuesday last week, scores of villagers joined forces with the police in search of two siblings who went missing and it was alleged that they had drowned in a stream.

The two siblings, aged five and 20 months, met their fate when they slipped into Kgobola lengole stream, which passes through Borolong village.

Through a search on the same day the police and the villagers managed to retrieve the body of the eldest and his body was certified dead upon arrival at Nyangabgwe Referral Hospital (NRH). The police were informed that during the fateful day their mother left them at home to go shopping but they later decided to follow behind to local retail outlets. The police and public at large continued with their search for the younger toddler and it was only on Friday morning that she was reported to have been found.
