Chance capture of Vietnamese fishermen ends search


KOTA KINABALU: The four people who went missing at sea after their boat capsized 10 days ago have been found – thanks to the arrest of Vietnamese fishermen who were encroaching into Malaysian waters.

As police questioned the fishermen, they were shocked to learn that the four – a Spanish couple, a resort operator and his worker – had actually been picked up by two other boats from Vietnam.
