Police will be seeking legal advice on how to proceed against two persons who remain in custody after last week’s fatal boat crash on the Aruka River, Commander of ‘F’ Division Rabindranauth Budhram said yesterday.
Last Thursday, Basil DaSilva, Ophelia James and their three children, Wayne DaSilva, 16; Loyzal DaSilva, 7, and Daveanand James, 6, were traveling on the Aruka River, heading to Central Kumaka, when a boat crashed into theirs.
Basil DaSilva was subsequently thrown out of the boat and into the water, while his wife and three children were left in the boat, which was badly damaged and it started sinking.
