BADUNG: Two people are dead after a group of six foreign tourists were swept to sea by a current in waters off Kuta Beach.
The group had been playing rugby on the beach before swimming despite local lifeguard warnings.
Vabrice De Greve, 30, from Belgium and Steven Wusse Marker, 30, from Netherlands, were drowned. Ketut Handi, a lifeguard at Badung Beach Lifeguard Brigade, confirmed the deaths Saturday. The brigade's secretary Ketut Epel said, lifeguards had warned the group twice he said to no avail. ""They were all swept away,"" Ketut said.
""The lifeguards could only save six of them.
""One was already dead during the rescue effort, while the other one was carried by a wave before he was found a few hours later."" One of the survivors, Jeff Meister from Singapore, was being treated at Sanglah Hospital. -- JP
