The death toll from Friday's landslide in Malaysia continues to mount.
The collapse that ravaged an unauthorized campsite killed at least 25 people, including eight children, with the discovery of the body of a little girl on Tuesday evening by rescuers.
A local police chief said on Wednesday that the child was between 6 and 10 years old and had been found five meters deep.
Rescuers continue to rake the muddy ground of the farm where the campsite was located, in search of the last eight missing.
The landslide occurred near the town of Batang Kali, on the outskirts of the capital Kuala Lumpur.
More than 90 people on site at the time of the tragedy
According to officials, more than 90 people, most of them asleep, were on site at the time of the tragedy, not far from a mountain resort which notably houses a casino perched high up.
Some 680 officers led by firefighters and police are still conducting searches after finding 61 victims safe and sound.
According to the authorities, the ravaged campsite was operating without a permit and its operators will be punished if their responsibility for the accident is proven.
Landslides are common in Malaysia, where heavy rains regularly fall at the end of the year.
However, no episode of heavy rainfall had been recorded in the area where the disaster occurred.
