A four-year-old boy drowned in a fam­i­ly pool in Cou­va, the third such in­ci­dent in­volv­ing a child in the space of a month.

Re­ports in­di­cate that the child, Ryan Jag­gasar, along with his par­ents went to a fam­i­ly gath­er­ing on Sat­ur­day.

Po­lice said rel­a­tives re­alised the child was miss­ing at 5 pm and a fran­tic search was made for him.

Po­lice said the child lived in Long­denville with his par­ents.
