At around 3:30PM, Dorothy received a message from her sister, Zaylen’s mother, saying her son had gone missing. She immediately left the event and rushed to help search for him.
“Hours later,” Caruana said, “they found him.”
He emphasised that spreading false narratives only adds to the family’s pain during this incredibly difficult time, urging the public to stop the speculation and focus on compassion.
Caruana also called for the authorities to take action against those spreading speculation and misinformation, urging people to be more respectful in such a tragic moment.
“In a situation like this, you should write rest in peace and leave it at that.”
