Boy, 14, missing at sea

TOBAGO police and Coast Guard officials were up to late yesterday searching for the body of 14-year-old Tarique Cupid, which disappeared at the John Dial Beach Saturday morning.

Police reports are that around 11.30am, Cupid, a student of the Scarborough Pentecostal Light and Life Secondary School, went fishing with friends. One of his friends fishing line got caught in a rock, and police said Cupid ventured into the water in an effort to get his friend’s fishing line. However, Cupid got into difficulty and his body did not surface.  Officers of the Scarborough Criminal Investigations Department visited the scene and conducted a search of the beach but this proved futile. Investigations are continuing.
