4 more bodies located, but not yet retrieved
Phuket - Four more bodies of six missing tourists were located Wednesday inside a boat that capsized in a sudden storm on Sunday.
But scuba divers could not yet retrieved the bodies trapped inside rooms on the boat, which sunk off Promthep Cape, said Pol Lt Col Prasert Srikhunrat, deputy commander of Marine Police Division 8.
Prasert said the boat was about 70 metres under the sea so scuba divers had only 20 minutes to search the boat.
Two more bodies have yet to be located after one was found and retrieved Tuesday.
Prasert said scuba divers would try to retrieve the four bodies Thursday morning.
