Two-year-old boy missing after falling into river in Leicester

A two-year-old boy reported missing after falling into a river in Leicester has been named by police as Xielo Maruziva. A police search to find him, involving specialist teams, is now into its fourth day but has been hampered by poor weather. In a statement his family thanked everyone involved in the ongoing search. "He never fails to make me laugh or smile and always loves a cuddle and some kisses." Me, his dad and the whole family are so heartbroken at what has happened.

"We thank everyone who has supported us and helped us during this time. All we want is for Xielo to be found as soon as possible."
