Search for man suspended

Wellington: Police believe a missing kayaker in Wellington is no longer alive and have suspended the search for him.

The 22yearold Wellington man has been missing since noon on Sunday, when he failed to return from a fishing trip. Earlier in the week, police said Koyren Campbell’s kayak was found near Tarakena Bay at 3.30pm on Sunday with some freshly caught fish on board.

Incident controller Senior Sergeant Dave Houston yesterday said the search had been suspended and Mr Campbell’s family had been informed. — RNZ
