By RASHITHA A. HAMID

HULU SELANGOR: A school holiday turned into a tragedy when three young cousins got caught in a whirlpool and drowned at Sendat waterfall, Ulu Yam Baru here. The three are Kok Soo Dee, 19, Tew Chew Ying, 13, and Tan Ching Wee, 10, from Bandar Sri Sentosa, Klang.

It is learnt that Tew’s mother, Kok Soo Peng and another three family members had taken them all to the waterfall for a holiday break before the three returned to school next Monday.

According to their driver, Sami Kimin, 43, they reached the waterfall at about 1pm and the children decided to go to the top of the waterfall to play.

“Tan was playing near the bottom of the waterfall when he saw that Kok and Tew had fallen into the pool at the bottom of the waterfall and were being sucked into a whirlpool,” he said when met at the Kuala Kubu Baru(KKB) Mortuary.

Tan began to scream and reached out to his cousins but he also got caught in the whirl pool.

Sami said he jumped in and managed to pull them out, one by one, but they had stopped breathing by then and, despite attempts to revive them, they died.

Their bodies were sent to the KKB mortuary.

Hulu Selangor OCPD Supt Norel Azmi Affandi Yahya said they were waiting for a post mortem report to ascertain the cause of the death.
