Boy still missing

It’s been one week since a boat capsized in Auckland’s Manukau Harbour with five people on board, leaving one person dead and another, a 10-year-old boy, still missing. Yesterday morning, the police told Stuff they will be continuing their aerial search during the day. The search for the boy, a pupil of Sandspit Road School in Waiuku, has entered its eighth day, resuming on Saturday after bad weather hindered the search efforts on Friday. Sandspit Road School principal Sharyn de Jonge said the school community was ‘‘absolutely devastated’’ by the incident. A community group banded together to conduct their own search for the young boy, organised via the Manukau Harbour Beach Boating and Fishing Facebook group. Police said they were aware of a search being coordinated by the public.
