The burial service has been held for four boys who got drowned at Bosumtwi-Sam Fishing Harbour in Sekondi last Sunday after trying to rescue a friend from drowning.

They were laid to rest on Thursday November 29 at Ketan in the Sekondi-Takoradi Metropolis.

The deceased persons were part of about 15 youths who had gone to the Skyy Beach Haven, near the fishing harbour, to have fun on that fateful day.

The friend they were trying to rescue, who has been identified only as Julius, 19, survived.

He is said to be a member of a local brass band.

Report say he is currently receiving treatment at the Effia Nkwanta Regional Hospital in Sekondi.
