A six-year-old boy who had been missing for five days after allegedly being kidnapped was found dead not too far from his house in north-central Vietnam on Saturday.

Tran Trung Nghia disappeared when he was playing in front of his house in Ba Don Town of Quang Binh Province on the night of July 3.

The family has since reported the missing of their child to police and sought help from social media.

It has been alleged that Nghia was kidnapped by two people on a motorbike, when his mom was busy cooking in the kitchen.

Ba Don police said on Saturday they had found the dead body of Nghia at a pond located some 2km away from his house.

He was first discovered by a local fisherman on the morning the same day, according to officers.

Police are performing an autopsy to determine the cause of death and looking into the kidnapping claim.
