Sharjah, March 11: The bodies of the two Bangladeshi teenage cousins who drowned on Thursday off the beach near Coral Beach Hotel in Sharjah were recovered on Saturday. The duo went along with four friends to swim in an area where swimming is prohibited.


The police said that the bodies were found on Saturday after great efforts made by the marine rescue units, coast guards and rescue missions. Frogmen recovered the body of Mohammed Ali, 19, at 2pm in Sharjah while the body of his cousin Omar Abu Hussain, 18, was recovered from Ajman beach at 5.30pm.


An official from the Sharjah Civil Defence Department said: “Initially, our frogmen and others had much difficulty in tracing the youngsters missing at sea. Poor visibility, strong winds and bad weather conditions hampered the search operations, but with team effort, the bodies were recovered and sent to the Kuwaiti Hospital for further procedures.”


He added that the spot where the youths went for swimming was “extremely dangerous” and a public warning sign had been put up in the area to warn beach users of strong winds.


Yasmin Hussain, sister of Omar Hussain, told Khaleej Times that her brother and her cousin always went out together with other friends from the same community. “It was the first time they went to the beach and both of them did not know how to swim. My parents are in very traumatic condition as he is the youngest child of the family. He was born here in Sharjah and was going to Quran School. We are six sisters and four brothers, but Omar was the youngest and everyone loved him. He was quite and polite. I can’t believe that I’m not going to see him again.”


Abu Hussain, grieving father of Omar and uncle of Mohammed, said: “This is God’s will. I can’t say anything more. My two sons and his cousin were well disciplined and doing well in school.”


According to Hussain Siddiq, uncle of the victims, his nephews were the best in the family. He said he was in the beach since the news came out and until the bodies were recovered.


He extended his gratitude to the Sharjah Police and Civil Defence for the help and the support provided to the family. Naseem, a relative of the deceased, said that the burial will take place in the UAE as the family has been living here for almost 30 years.
