More than a month since a boat accident on the Moruca River claimed the lives of a father and son, no one has been charged yet as the police await advice from the Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP).
According to sources close to the investigation, a file on the case has been compiled by the police and was sent to the DPP’s office for advice. The file is yet to be returned to the police.
George Piper, 41, and his son, Ravin, 18, both farmers, were reportedly tossed out of their vessel after a collision at the mouth of the Moruca River, North West District at about 10 pm on July 14. Their bodies were recovered in the following days.
