'Wild Cambodia jungle-girl' found

A Cambodian girl who disappeared aged eight has been found after living wild in the jungle for 19 years, police say.



The girl is believed to be Rochom P'ngieng, who disappeared while tending buffalo on the edge of the jungle in remote northern Rattanakiri province.

Her father says he has identified her through scars and will have DNA tests taken to prove she is his daughter.

Local police said the woman was "half-human and half-animal" and could not speak any intelligible language.
