The bodies of three of the four divers who were sucked into a 36-inch underwater crude oil pipeline off Pointe-a-Pierre last Friday have been removed to the Forensic Science Centre.
TTT News understands the bodies were taken to the Centre this morning and are pending identification and autopsies.
The announcement of the recovery was made by Paria Fuel Trading Company in a statement on Monday evening. Christopher Boodram, Fyzal Kurban, Rishi Nagassar, Kazim Ali Jr., and Yusuf Henry were doing maintenance work on the pipeline when the tragedy occurred last week.
Boodram was rescued that same day by diver Ronald Ramoutar, a relative of Kurban. He is in stable condition at the San Fernando General Hospital.
Attempts to retrieve the fourth body are still ongoing.
