What you need to know:

  • The search team of 31 comprises divers from the Kenya Navy, the Ministry of Livestock and Fisheries, Bomet County Government, the Sonko Rescue Team and private divers from Mombasa and Naivasha.

  • Even with equipment said to be sophisticated, and reinforcement with more experts, the team has not been able to report any success for the last 10 days.

  • Only two out of five bodies were retrieved two days after the campaign chopper crashed.

Divers searching Lake Nakuru for remains of three victims who died in a chopper crash more than a week ago have covered 50 per cent of the lake, with no success.

Today the search enters its 13th day.
