A family trip to Mayaro beach yesterday turned tragic after a 21-year-old Carapichaima man disappeared under the choppy waters.
Vikash Samaroo of Korea Village was seen bathing about 150 metres from the shore at Indian Bay with two young men, ages 14 and 15 years old.
However, around 11.20 am they got into difficulties and Samaroo disappeared under the water.
The two young men made it out of the water and alerted other bathers who contacted the Mayaro police.
Both the police and Coast Guard responded, but up to late yesterday, Samaroo had not yet been found. Investigations are continuing.
