No sign of brothers who fell into the Konawaruk

After three days of searching in the Konawaruk River there is still no sign of the two West Ruimveldt brothers, who reportedly fell out of a boat after a number of missiles were allegedly thrown at them on Tuesday.

Police have said that another search on Friday yielded no clue which might lead to the discovery of the two men who have been missing since Tuesday.
Another search was planned for yesterday and today.

Quacy Rover, 37, and Dwayne Thomas, 31, of Lot 56 West Ruimveldt along with another male were using a boat to cross the Konawaruk River unknown to its owner.

The owner however saw them and is alleged to have begun throwing missiles at them, the police said.

It was while trying to evade the missiles that Rover and Thomas fell into the river and have not been seen since.
