Three kids drown in Saudi swamp

Two little brothers and their relative died after drowning in a swamp in Saudi Arabia, where their families watched in horror as they were swallowed by the water. The three, aged between 8 and 12, were on a picnic with their families in the southern province of Jazan when they sneaked into the water.

“They all drowned as they were not good swimmers. Their families tried to save them but could not,” 'Sabq' newspaper said, adding that their bodies were plucked by the civil defence.
