Deaths of High Wycombe girl and teenage boy on Bournemouth beach won't be investigated by MAIB
Investigators believe no vessel was involved
It's been confirmed no boat was involved in the deaths of two children off Bournemouth beach.
Marine accident investigators say they won't be launching a formal investigation.
17-year-old Joe Abbess from Southampton and 12-year-old Sunnah Khan from High Wycombe died after they got into difficulty in the sea near Bournemouth pier at the end of May.
Eight other people were also pulled from the water.
Today, the Marine Accident Investigation Branch has issued a statement.
It said: “Having conducted a thorough preliminary assessment of the circumstances of this tragic accident the MAIB has decided that no formal investigation will be launched.
"This was a truly tragic accident but our understanding of the circumstances is that it did not involve a vessel and therefore is not something the Branch would investigate.”
We've asked Dorset Police for an update on their enquiries.
