Previously, at about 10 pm on August 23, local authorities received a report from the family about Mr. K'Mai going fishing but not returning.
According to initial information, at about 5 pm on the same day, Mr. K'Mai went fishing alone on the Da Huoai River, passing through hamlet 1, Da Huoai 3 commune.
