Yesterday, the body of Trisha Jangok Tommy, 12, was found floating near the Fire and Rescue Department (Bomba)’s control post at Tuai Rumah Muja jetty around 2.30pm.
The trio had headed off to the Sg Nanga Tutus river near Rh Augustine Meringgai Jana with one of the victims’ uncle to do laundry and thereafter for a swim.
