Title: Update on yacht explosion

[<< Prev Post] | [Next Post >>]
[Back to Index/Map]

The yachts name was Oblio.
The couple were Canadian, although in business in Savu Savu.
Sharon and Sean Cody.
Apparently the woman was killed instantly, the man was blown into the water and died in hospital. Very sad..
