Search For Missing \u00a0Migrants \u00a0Suspended Following Boat Tragedy<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

The Maritime Rescue Coordination Centre based in Martinique has suspended its search for the missing migrants, following Tuesday morning\u2019s boat tragedy.<\/p>\n

The St Kitts and Nevis Defence Force Coast Guard is set to suspend its search by the end of Friday.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>
\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

Over a dozen West Africans who were on the vessel are missing and feared dead after the small vessel capsized and sank.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

State media has received a photograph of the boat as it was leaving the Jolly Harbour area, and before the passengers had boarded for what turned out to be the ill-fated journey.<\/p>\n

It is still not clear where it set out from with the passengers and this is the subject of continuing investigations.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

Two Antiguans and Barbudans and 30 West Africans were reportedly on the small vessel. (State Media)<\/p>\n
