At around 11:30 a.m. on September 2, authorities and residents of Xop Phong village, Muong Ai commune found the body of Moong Pho Tuat (born in 1974), residing in Xop Phong village, Muong Ai commune, who was swept away by floodwaters and went missing on August 17.
The location where Mr. Tuat’s body was found was in Vang Phao village, Muong Ai commune, right below the old Muong Tip Border Post. Due to being buried under mud, trash and trees, plus being submerged in water for a long time, the victim’s body was decomposing.
This afternoon, Muong Ai commune handed over the victim's body to the family for burial according to local customs.
Previously, on August 17, due to rising flood water in the stream, the entire house was swept away along with Mr. Moong Pho Uon (nearly 80 years old) and his son Moong Pho Tuat, who were in the house at that time.
Mr. Moong Pho Uon's body was found on the Nam Mo River, passing through Na Luong village, Huu Kiem commune. Mr. Tuat's body was not found until more than 2 weeks later.
