Four little brothers on picnic drown in fountain

Four little Saudi brothers died after they drowned in a fountain in the Gulf Kingdom while on a picnic with their family, a newspaper said on Sunday.

Civil defence men called to the scene plucked the four out of the fountain in the southern town of Jazan but they were already dead, Sabq said.

Forensic examination showed the four boys drowned to death while police are investigating whether the incident involved any criminal act, the paper said without specify the boys’ age.
