Following an extensive investigation into the tragic deaths of 12-year-old Sunnah Khan and 17-year-old Joe Abbess off Bournemouth beach on May 31, Dorset Police has announced that no criminal offences were committed. The victims were suspected to have drowned after getting caught in a riptide near the pier at the popular resort.
The police probe had initially focused on determining whether the Dorset Belle, a sightseeing boat, had caused the dangerous sea conditions leading to the incident. However, authorities concluded that the vessel was not to blame. A man who was arrested on suspicion of manslaughter has been cleared of any wrongdoing and will face no further action.
