A chartered fishing boat carrying 10 people sank in stormy weather off the New Zealand coast, and police said four people were confirmed dead and one other was missing. Five people were winched by a helicopter to safety and the search was continuing.
The 17-metre boat got into trouble and set off a distress signal on Sunday night off North Cape on the northern coast, triggering a major search and rescue operation.
The five rescued people were admitted to Kaitaia Hospital in stable conditions and were later discharged. “The weather conditions are more favourable today, and we are completely focused on the search and rescue for the two people unaccounted for,” Burt said in a statement before one body was recovered by a ship.
But conditions had eased in the area later in the night as the search and rescue began and the storm system continued to move south, he said.
