“Upon realising that the boy was missing, people in the area searched for him but later he was found floating while dead,” reports indicates.

DrownA medical examination revealed that the boy died due to suffocation. Speaking at the funeral ceremony of the child, group village headman Kapanga urged parents in Nkhotakota district to take care of their children to avoid such incidents from happening.

“This is a loss to the village, district and possibly nation because this boy would have contributed positively to the country’s development. Let us (parents) make sure that our children are under control whenever they are visiting the lake,” said Chief Kapanga.

  1. Shaaa! It’s too sad and it’s too early for him to swim. Who took him to the lake I want to know his instructor. RIP even though life is too short but you were not supposed to die at youngest age like this
