The search for Xielo, a two-year-old boy who fell into the River Soar in Aylestone Meadows, Leicestershire, has been ongoing for seven days now. The Leicestershire Police, who are leading the search, have made a plea to the public to stay away from the area and allow their specialized teams to continue their efforts.
The incident occurred last Sunday, February 18, when Xielo's father bravely dived into the river to try and save his son. Despite his heroic efforts, he was unable to find the young boy and was hospitalized afterwards as a precaution. As the search enters its second week, the police have asked people, including those in kayaks, to avoid the water in and around Aylestone Meadows.
In a statement, the Leicestershire Police stated, "This is a plea from us. Our search teams are still actively looking for the missing boy and therefore we ask members of the public to stay off the water surrounding Aylestone Meadows, including those on kayaks. Thank you." The search teams, which include specialist dive teams, have faced challenges due to the rising water levels, but they remain determined to find Xielo.
It has now been a week since Xielo went missing, and unfortunately, there has been no trace of him yet. A map has been released showing the approximate location where Xielo fell into the river, and search efforts are ongoing both on and beside the water. Assistant Chief Constable Michaela Kerr has expressed her gratitude for the support and professionalism shown by the public and various agencies involved in the search.
ACC Kerr stated, "The circumstances have been incredibly difficult, as have the weather conditions, and we really appreciate both the support of the public and the determination of our colleagues in Leicestershire Police, partner agencies, and other forces across the country. We are using all available resources, including specialist dive teams, boats, drones, and marine dogs, to find Xielo."
"We will continue our search over the weekend, and if there are any developments, we will keep everyone updated. We are grateful for the concern and care shown by the local community and the public, who are just as invested in finding Xielo as we are."
