The spot where the tragedy occurred.

KOTA KINABALU: Grieving parents of three schoolboys who drowned during a leadership camping trip in south-western Membakut nine days ago, are still waiting for answers from teachers and the eco-resort operators.

"We are still not satisfied. Till today, no one has come forward to explain what really happened to our children, whether from the school authorities or the eco-resort operators over the April 29 incident," the families said in a statement read by Norisham Purah, 50, the father of Norman Danial, 16, during a press conference here on Sunday.
