A SIX-year-old boy died after falling down a well while playing with other children, just hours into a trip abroad.

Little Matin Nochad had just arrived in Sri Lanka with his parents and two-year-old sister when the tragedy happened.

Poole resident Mohamed Nochad had flown to Sri Lanka with his wife Farzana and their children Matin and Mayes because his father was unwell.

But just two hours after they arrived, Matin, who had gone out to play in the garden after lunch, fell down a 60ft well.
