The body of 14yrs old Matthew Sookoo has been found. The discovery was made around 10.30 am today by members of the Trinidad and Tobago Coast Guard in the vicinity of the Columbus Channel in Cedros.
Sookoo was with a group of men on-board an unregistered pirogue that went out to sea off Fullerton’s coast around 3.45 pm Saturday to test the boat, which was fitted with a 200 horsepower engine when it is believed that he fell off the boat into the water and disappeared. A search was carried out, but he was not found.
The body has been ordered to be removed by the District Medical Officer to the Forensic Science, where a post mortem is expected to be conducted to determine the cause of his death.
Cedros Police are continuing investigation.
