Police confirm fourth victim of flooding

The police on Wednesday confirmed a fourth victim of the floods. The 70-year-old woman from the village of Kobylá nad Vidnavkou in the Jesenice region was evacuated from her house on Saturday by volunteer firefighters, but left the evacuation centre on Sunday morning to return home. The police discovered her body only 20 metres behind her house that was swept away by the river.

Police are still searching for six other people, including the three missing people whose car fell into a turbulent Staříč river in the Jesenice region on Saturday. The empty car was found on Monday after the water in the river receded.
