In the Belgian municipality of Onhaye, located in the province of Namur, the body of a child was discovered near a soccer field. This was confirmed by various French-speaking media and by VRT NWS. The discovery took place on Monday and a large police operation is currently underway.

The body is believed to possibly belong to five-year-old Tyméo Brigou, who vanished with his father on June 27. According to several reports, there are strong indications that this is indeed the case, but official identification has yet to take place.

The Belgian police have indicated that it is 'more than likely' that the body is Tyméo. The authorities have a high degree of certainty, but all options remain open until the autopsy is performed.

The circumstances surrounding the disappearance and the found body are currently the subject of an extensive investigation. The Public Prosecutor's Office has announced that further information will be provided as soon as more clarity is available.

Neighbors and those involved in the area of Onhaye are shocked by the incident. The situation raises many questions about the course of the missing reports and the reasons behind the police operation. No additional details have been released regarding the circumstances of the discovery.
