GEORGETOWN, Guyana (CMC) — The bodies of a Guyanese couple, including a pregnant woman, who went missing while swimming at Unity Beach on Sunday, have been recovered.

Police said the bodies of 20-year-old Lyodisa “Loyda” Waldron and her 33-year-old fiancé, Andri Francis, a special constable, were found on Tuesday. Both were residents of Victoria Village, East Coast Demerara.

According to reports, the couple was part of a group visiting Unity Beach on Sunday afternoon when Waldron drifted farther out into the Atlantic Ocean and called for help.

Francis, a father of two, attempted to rescue her after hearing her cries; however, both were overwhelmed by strong currents, pulled underwater, and disappeared.

A joint search-and-rescue operation involving lawmen from the Mahaica Police Station and members of the Guyana Defence Force (GDF) Coast Guard was launched, but efforts to locate the couple on Monday were unsuccessful.

Police said investigations into the incident are ongoing.
