The search is con­tin­u­ing for per­sons miss­ing and feared dead af­ter a boat cap­sized near the Tapoekoe/Bam­boe­si area in the Marow­i­jne dis­trict in the Al­bi­na re­sort. All those on the boat are from French Guiana.

Po­lice have con­firmed that 10 peo­ple were on board the boat and that three bod­ies have so far been re­cov­ered.

The bod­ies of a three-year-old boy, 46-year-old David Machi­no and 25-year-old Geraldin Gipe have now been re­cov­ered. Af­ter con­sul­ta­tion with the Pub­lic Pros­e­cu­tion Ser­vice, the bod­ies were hand­ed over to the rel­a­tives and re­turned to French Guiana.

The group was on the riv­er near the bor­der at Al­bi­na. Four pas­sen­gers sur­vived the ac­ci­dent. They have been iden­ti­fied as: Tariq Ision (8), Lena Asaiti (19), Gra­cia­beth Ala­toe (65), and a fourth per­son whose per­son­al de­tails have not yet been ful­ly con­firmed. All four were trans­ferred to French Guiana for med­ical treat­ment.

The po­lice said the miss­ing per­sons are two men and two chil­dren, whose first names are known: Brain, Arginio, En­ginio and Fe­lizio. The au­thor­i­ties say both the Suri­namese and French au­thor­i­ties are de­ploy­ing man­pow­er and equip­ment for the search.
