Two fifth-grader girls drowned in Prawes Burirom Canal Thursday afternoon after a boy pushed them down from the canal bank, police said.
Bodies of the two girls were retrieved from the canal bed by Ruam Katanyoo Foundation’s officials at 2:45 pm.
A nine-year-old brother of one of the girls told police that the two girls were sitting on the canal’s bank on Soi Onnut 43 when a boy of their age walked to them and pushed them down.
The nine-year-old boy said he ran for help but the two had already disappeared into the water when adults arrived at the scene.
