    I am so confused about what could possibly have happened there. 2 swimmers dead, 10 injured and one person arrested for manslaughter who was 'on' the water, not in it. But police have categorically stated it didn't involve a jet ski or boat and nobody jumped from the pier.

    I really don't understand what the hell could have happened.

    Fishing where people were swimming and people tangled up in his line? God knows. Horrific anyway

    They impounded a pleasure boat that belonged to the man who was arrested. And he has been been released.
    Also a mass brawl of 50 youths with weapons occurred today at the same beach. Wtf is that all about.

    It states in this report that the pleasure boat made "numerous circuits in the waters at the time".
    It's quite a large boat, so it could be the boat's wake created unstable seas if it was too close?
