BATANG KALI: The body of the last victim of the landslide incident at the Father’s Organic Farm campsite here, was found inside a sleeping bag at a depth of 1.5 metres at 4.53 pm today.

Hulu Selangor police chief Supt Suffian Abdullah said the body of the boy aged between seven and 12 was found face down on the hillside about four metres from the campsite in sector A (hillview).
