Coast Guard officers yesterday continued the search for the bodies of three men who disappeared at sea while swimming in Mayaro. Up to late yesterday, twin brothers, Ricky and Ryan Lall, aged 20, of East Demerara, Guyana, as well as Trinidad-born Mahindra Deonarine, 20, could not be found. Police said the men worked at a grocery in Princes Town and had gone to Mayaro for a swim.
Witnesses said the three were swimming off Bonnespaire Road, around 4 pm when they got into difficulties and never resurfaced. Coast guard officers combed the waters for several hours for the men but were forced to abandon the search at nightfall. The search was resumed yesterday but the men were not found.
All three were reportedly staying at Lothians Road, Princes Town. However, residents there said they did not know them.
