SERDANG, April 1 — Authorities have recovered the body of an Indonesian woman reported missing alongside her daughter after being swept away by strong currents while fishing in a monsoon drain along Jalan KP 4/9 Kota Perdana in Seri Kembangan.

Serdang district police chief ACP A.A Anbalagan said the 38-year-old’s body was found at 12.17pm by the search-and-rescue team at Lombong D’Island near Taman Lacattage, Putra Perdana, approximately 10 kilometres from the site of the incident.

“Her husband has confirmed the victim’s identity. The search for their four-year-old daughter is ongoing,” he said.

In the 5pm incident yesterday, the couple and their three children were fishing at the monsoon drain when the strong currents swept them away.

The husband, aged 40, and the couple’s nine-year-old son managed to save themselves, while their 10-year-old eldest son was found drowned about one kilometre away from the scene.
