The body of an 8‑year‑old girl who went missing while waiting for a relative near the Nagata River in Labasa has been recovered.
Police spokesperson Ana Naisoro says they will now await the post-mortem examination to determine cause of death.
Police Chief of Operations ACP Rusiate Tudravu had said yesterday that the child was sitting by the riverbank which is 30 to 35 meters away from where her aunty was diving when she disappeared.
Tudravu says the girl is believed to have fallen into the river.
