The police have reported that at 1642hrs the Armed Forces of Malta Operations Centre received information that two bodies and a capsized boat were sighted at Fomm ir–Riħ bay. An Italian Military Mission helicopter engaged in the search for 5 persons reported missing on Monday was directed to the scene where it arrived at 1700hrs and confirmed the sighting. The helicopter crew recovered the two bodies which were identified to be those of two deceased females.

This finding is in all likelihood associated with the case of 5 persons reported missing late yesterday afternoon from aboard a yacht anchored off Gozo. Further searches are being mounted to locate any further potential survivors or victims. Search efforts thus far have yielded limited results with a life jacket having been located but no further persons
