8 dead, 5 missing in boat accident off Malaysia
Written by Dailynews.vn Friday, 03 February 2012 23:46
Police found the bodies of eight men on a beach in southern Johor state early Wednesday, said Che Mahazan Che Aik, a district police chief, while 12 others managed to swim to shore after their boat overturned.
Search and rescue operations were underway to find five others believed to be missing at sea, Che Mahazan told AFP. Authorities were also still searching for the boat's skipper.
None of the men, believed to be between 20 and 35 years old, had travel documents but the survivors, who have been detained, claimed they were asylum seekers from Afghanistan and Iraq, Che Mahazan said.
