From Caribbean 360
“Three decomposed bodies were found by kite surfers on Saturday night (20 June 2015) off Cap Chevalier, on the eastern side of the island and another body was found last Thursday at Anse Aux Bois.
Investigations are being conducted to determine whether any of the bodies found are of the missing men.
On the heels of a search for four men who left Martinique almost three weeks ago for St. Lucia, and the discovery of four bodies in the French island, police have confirmed that seven men left St. Lucia for Martinique on June 13, but never reached their destination either.
The seven left on the fishing boat ‘Same Speed’ around 2 o’clock that morning.
A search for those men is now underway.”
