TENOM, March 28 – A two-year old boy who went missing was found after spending 18 hours in a jungle not far from his home. Rescuers found Healezry Zeandfly Henderi lying in a pile of bushes about 200m from his house at Kampung Kuala Tolokoson, Kemabong near here at about 10.25am. District police chief Deputy Superintendent Mohamad Firdaus Abdullah said the toddler did not sustain any injuries and has been sent to Tenom Hospital for medical examination.
“His mother noticed the boy was not in the house after she came out from toilet yesterday at about 4pm,” he said adding a search was subsequently mounted by villagers. The Fire and Rescue Department were informed about it at about 8pm prompting a wider search until around midnight. This morning as teams scoured the area they found the boy who appeared weak but was still able to recognise his parents.
