Xielo Maruziva: Body confirmed to be boy, 2, who fell into river

Officers were first called to the River Soar, close to Marsden Lane, at about 17:00 GMT on 18 February after Xielo fell into the water.

This is a devastating and tragic incident and our thoughts are with all of Xielo’s family at this most difficult and unimaginable time.

“We ask that the privacy of the family continues to be respected at this time.

“Full support also continues to be provided to the workers who were in the area of Aylestone Meadows on Thursday morning and I continue to thank them for their support and co-operation in the most horrendous circumstances.”
