Coastguard gives up search for missing Japanese tourists

The coastguard of the Maldives National Defence Force (MNDF) has given up its search for two Japanese tourists who went missing from the Adaaaran Hudhuranfushi Resort last week.

According to the MNDF, the search went on by air and sea for three days, covering the resort’s house reef and sandbanks in the region.

The coastguard has however appealed to vessels traveling the area to be on the lookout for the bodies of the missing Japanese couple.

A decomposing female body meanwhile washed ashore on Adaaran Hudhuranfushi Sunday while the MNDF search was ongoing. Police have yet to determine the identity of the corpse.
