AFM recovers female body from the sea

The body of a female was recovered from the sea by the AFM this afternoon. The body was reported to be in a position that is about 10 nautical miles south of Delimara. The call came through Malta Radio after it had received an anonymous call from a speed boat that had spotted the corpse.

An AFM patrol boat and a helicopter conducted the recovery operation. Two rescuers were lowered into the sea from the Helicopter and after the body was strapped to a stretcher, it was loaded onto the patrol boat. The patrol boat conveyed the body to Malta.

The police were informed about the case and are carrying out investigations from their side.

The corpse was in an advanced state of decomposition.
