Body of missing boy, 6, found in Murray River
The body of a six-year-old boy has been found in the Murray River, two days after he was swept downstream from near a campsite in Victoria.
New South Wales Police said they recovered the body about 7.5 kilometres north of the campsite on Gunbower Island in Koondrook, at about 2:00pm.
Rescue crews had been searching the area on the border of New South Wales and Victoria, since the boy vanished on Saturday.
The boy had been swimming with six other children when they began to drift downstream.
Four children made it to safety, while three others struggled with the current, NSW Police said.
A number of adults jumped into the water and were able to rescue two of the children.
The boy has been formally identified.
An investigation into the circumstances surrounding the incident is underway.
