Search For Castro And Janet Still Ongoing: Marine Police Assure Public

• Possible areas 

COP Asante-Apeatu asserted that the department was also trying to locate possible areas within the river and the sea where it suspected the bodies of the victims (if dead) might be found and then engage the services of the Ghana Navy to assist with divers to retrieve the bodies.

He said the Marine Police would continue to count on the support of the local community along the coast to provide them with credible information on the incident.

• Water patrol points 

The commissioner said the Volta River was part of the water patrol points in the operations of the Marine Police and they would, therefore urge the unit to intensify their operations during the Asafotufiami Festival today (Saturday) to ensure an incident-free event.

• Search mission 

Giving a background to the mission to search for the two, COP Asante-Apeatu indicated that about 2 p.m. on July 6, 2014, the Marine Police Unit in Tema received information on an alleged drowning incident involving Castro and his lady friend at the Volta Estuary at Ada Foah. He said the Marine Police Department immediately deployed personnel in charge of marine patrol boats to engage in the search-and-rescue mission for the two persons involved in the accident but, unfortunately, only the jet ski which was allegedly used by the two was recovered near a wrecked vessel at the estuary.
