A Cunu­pia teenag­er, who ac­com­pa­nied two friends to Mara­cas Beach for an un­planned sea bath, trag­i­cal­ly drowned ten min­utes af­ter en­ter­ing the wa­ter.

Christo­pher Chin, 18, of War­ren Road, Cunu­pia, agreed to the im­promp­tu lime with the two girls, aged 19 and 23, as part of a quick “get­away.” The women, both of whom live at Munroe Road, Cunu­pia, re­port­ed­ly ar­rived at the beach around 1.30 pm with Chin.

Chin and the 19-year-old woman re­port­ed­ly en­tered the wa­ter around 1.45 pm.
