Naisoro says that the boy's mother has identified the body and investigations continue.
The two‑year‑old boy Pita Baravilala Junior was reported missing from Sandalwood Street in Lautoka on Monday.
He was having a rain bath in a fenced compound with another boy.
Pita’s mother Asilika Nabunobuno says she and her husband have been searching for their son since Monday.
Nabunobuno says her aunt was watching the two boys having their rain bath however the two later went outside the compound.
Their neighbour had told them that she only saw one boy on the road after some time.
The other boy had told the family that Pita had jumped into a nearby drain.
