A body has been found in the search for missing two-year-old Xielo Maruziva who fell into the River Soar.
The toddler fell into the water at Aylestone Meadows - nature reserve in Leicester - in February this year.
The body found by contractors carrying out work in the area today - though formal identification is yet to take place - it is believed to be that of the two-year-old.
His family are being supported by specialist officers, Leicestershire Police said.
