Belgian authorities discovered the body of a child on Monday. This grim discovery comes as a five-year-old boy remains missing since June 27. The child disappeared in Onhaye, a municipality in the province of Namur, located in the Walloon region. The circumstances of his disappearance had remained unexplained until now.

Identification to be confirmed

The body found could be that of the young boy who had been missing for nearly two months. Belgian investigators will have to conduct tests to formally establish the victim's identity. The case had caused a great deal of emotion in the region.

The search, which began at the end of June, involved significant resources. The boy's family had been anxiously awaiting news since his disappearance in the middle of summer. Authorities have not released any further details about the circumstances surrounding the discovery of his body.
