A Cairns court has heard the distressed triple zero call made by a childcare centre director who found the body of a boy left inside a minibus last week.

He’d been driving the bus throughout the day, but the court was told he hadn’t noticed the boy sitting just two seats behind.

The director, and another childcare centre worker, are facing manslaughter charges, with police labelling the tragedy and act of criminal negligence.
