Questions are now being asked about how the boys, both aged 16, drowned at the popular tourist destination. It is believed neither knew how to swim.
The pair were reported missing about 5pm on Friday, with police divers finding their bodies in the still waters of the lake at 8:20am today. "This is a tragic event, there is no doubt about that," Inspector Tony Clowes told reporters on Saturday. He warned there was always a risk when entering waterways, and said he did not know if the boys could swim.
"Be aware of your abilities, be aware that if you are entering water there is some inherent risk entering waterways in this country," he said.Related Articles
