PETALING JAYA
The search for an autistic child, who went missing three days ago, was officially suspended yesterday evening after authorities found no new leads.

Baling police chief Azmi Mokhtar said the control posts set up by police and the fire and rescue department were now closed after the search area was widened, Harian Metro reported.

However, the authorities will continue patrolling the Sungai Kupang area daily.

Azmi said yesterday’s search covered a 7km-8km radius along the river.

“We are unsure whether the child fell into the river or got lost in the forest, but we continue searching these areas,” he was quoted as saying, adding that the river current was strong.

Four-year-old Fayyad Affan Fakhri was reported missing last Friday after leaving his home at the government quarters in Kampung Landak Paya, near Baling.

Fayyad, who also has a speech disorder, is believed to have left his house through the back door.
