Missing near Makogai Waters

The search for a man in his 20s will continue this morning after he disappeared whilst fishing in waters off Makogai Island yesterday afternoon.

The victim was fishing in a kayak with two boys aged 7 and 10-years when their kayak started to take in water.

All three tried to swim ashore, however the 28-year old farmer started to experience some difficulties and asked the 10-year old boy to swim ahead and get help from other villagers.

The matter was reported by the victim’s father.

Search efforts are expected to continue this morning.
