“The incident is said to have happened when the victim’s aunt, who was at home, was getting ready to evacuate to the temporary relief centre as floodwaters were rising,” Rohaimi said in a statement.
The aunt had earlier discovered that the girl had left by herself through the kitchen door while the victim is believed to have been swept away by floodwaters in the incident.
