Efforts to recover the bodies of a woman and her child after the car they were in plunged into the Indian Ocean stalled yesterday due to lack of equipment.

Tearful relatives and friends thronged Likoni Channel, some from Sunday evening, after news broke that Mariam Kigenda and her daughter Amanda had plunged into the shark-infested section of the Indian Ocean after their car reversed from MV Harambee.
