Landslide wipes out 23 campers as bodies of mother and son are discovered buried in mud

A horrific landslide on an unlicensed campsite inc Malaysia has wiped out an estimated 23 people and rescuers have found the bodies of a mother and son.

The two bodies were found buried under a metre of mud, but Selangor state fire chief Norazam Khamis told reporters there was a slim chance of finding survivors if they clung onto branches or rocks.

Police have said 94 people were sleeping at the camping site on an organic farm early Friday when around 3 acres of the area was suddenly engulfed in mud and dirt from the road above.
