A 29-year-old Ukrainian man tragically lost his life after encountering difficulties while swimming. The incident occurred around 1:30 PM, when the police were notified that assistance was needed at Dwejra Bay, located in the limits of San Lawrenz, Gozo.
The police promptly arrived at the scene, where individuals in the area pointed out the last known location where the man was seen in the water.
Immediately, the assistance of the Civil Protection Department and the Armed Forces of Malta was requested, and they began search operations.
After approximately three hours, a body was spotted in the water, recovered, and brought ashore at the Port of Mġarr. It was confirmed to be the same man.
Magistrate Dr. Simone Grech LL.D was informed of the case and has initiated an inquiry, while the police continue their investigations into the incident.
