The Maruziva family remembers their two-year-old son, Xielo, as a bright and cheerful child - a true bundle of joy. However, their world was turned upside down when Xielo tragically fell into the River Soar in Leicestershire on a February day.
The toddler was playing near Marsden Lane in Braunstone when the accident happened. His father, who immediately jumped into the water to save him, was taken to the hospital as a precaution. Despite the efforts of those at the scene and specialized divers, Xielo could not be found. This left the family and the community devastated.
Months went by with no sign of Xielo, until recently when a body was found by workers in Aylestone Meadows near the River Soar. Leicestershire Police confirmed the news and stated that formal identification would take place.
Peter Faulding, CEO of the private underwater search and recovery company Specialist Group International, had also taken part in the search for Xielo in February. The incident took place in the nature reserve in Braunstone, and the search efforts continued for weeks.
Xielo's family, who were heartbroken and desperate for any news about their son, had described him as a cheeky and funny boy - a true bundle of joy. His mother had paid tribute to him and thanked the community for their support. She described Xielo as a friendly, smart, and independent child who loved to play with his toys and watch cartoons.
The search for Xielo involved a timeline of events, starting from the day he fell into the river. Special teams were brought in to aid the search, and a private team that had previously helped in a similar case also joined the efforts. However, as time went by, the search was scaled back due to lack of progress.
Finally, in June, the police recovered a body from the River Soar, and it was confirmed to be Xielo's. The family, who were heartbroken and struggling to come to terms with the tragedy, issued a statement expressing their gratitude for the support they had received and their hope to find their son as soon as possible.
His father described Xielo as a creative and playful child who had just started nursery before the accident. He loved cuddles, playing with his toys, and visiting the park with his family. The past few days had been extremely difficult for the family, and they were grateful for the search teams and the public's support.
Assistant Chief Constable Michaela Kerr also expressed her condolences to the family and stated that they were providing full support during this difficult time. She also thanked the workers who were involved in the recovery of Xielo's body, acknowledging the unimaginable circumstances they had to face.
