An outing at Veitongo beach on Saturday 11  has turned into a tragedy for a group of friends and family who were having a picnic after a woman was found dead and one man is feared drowned.

Tonga’s Central Police Superintendent Tēvita Fifita has confirmed this to Kaniva News this afternoon.

He said the woman from Maʻufanga was  found dead at sea yesterday and she had probably died of drowning while the man is still missing.

Fifita declined to give further details about the incident.
