Bodies of three children retrieved from lake Kariba

Police in Siavonga yesterday retrieved bodies of three children that drowned in Lake Kariba last week after a banana boat they were travelling in capsized.

The three children aged between five and eleven years, died on Lake Kariba in Siavonga last week after a banana boat they were traveling in with eighty other passengers capsized due to strong waves.
A four year old boy also died and was buried while the other passengers managed to survive the accident that occurred around Munene island on Lake Kariba.

Siavonga District Commissioner Emily Striedl told ZANIS today that the bodies of the three girls that were found floating were retrieved by police yesterday.

The bodies that include two sisters have since been buried.
