A Magisterial inquiry has been launched into the sinking of the fishing boat Simshar and the loss of three, and possibly four people.

The inquiry is being conducted by Magistrate Joseph Apap Bologna who will investigate the circumstances which led to the sinking of the boat and the deaths of some of its crew. So far only the master, Simon Bugeja, has survived.

The search is continuing for 11-year-old Theo Bugeja, the only one who is still missing. Three men have been confirmed dead.
