Peruvian authorities said Monday they located the bodies of a father and son killed when intense rains in the country's south triggered mudslides affecting some 5,500 homes, forcing many people to evacuate.
Father and son were swept away by a landslide in the city of Arequipa in a neighborhood built directly over an ancient natural watercourse. According to experts, these homes encroach on a path that has carried torrents of water for centuries during periods of heavy rains.
