Geneva: Two people have died and a third is missing after torrential rains triggered a landslide in southeastern Switzerland, police said on Sunday.
Violent storms lashed the Alpine country with rain this weekend, with hundreds of people evacuated in the west after the Rhone river and its tributaries broke their banks.
"The bodies of two people were found by rescuers in connection with the landslide in the Fontana region," police in the Italian-speaking canton of Ticino said in a statement.
According to local daily La Regione, the dead were two women who were on holiday in the region.
Emergency services were assessing the best way to evacuate 300 people who had arrived for a football tournament in Peccia, while almost 70 more were being evacuated from a holiday camp in the village of Mogno.
