BREAKING: Sydney teens named as volcano victims WhiteIsland
Sydney brothers Matthew Robert Hollander, 13, and Berend Lawrence Hollander, 16, were among those killed following the destructive eruption on White Island, according to officers.
“While it is frustrating not to have located the remaining two bodies, I’d like to reiterate our commitment to doing all we can to provide a sense of closure to the grieving families,” New Zealand police deputy commissioner John Tims said from Wellington. “We understand completely how frustrating it is for loved ones who want the bodies back.” It is believed that at least one of the bodies belongs to an Australian.
Ms Payne will be in New Zealand from Monday until Wednesday and will meet with Ms Ardern, along with Deputy Prime Minister and Foreign Affairs minister Winston Peters. “We thank and acknowledge Ngati Awa for the care and sensitivity they have shown to loved ones of the victims, at a time when they too are grieving.”
