PETALING JAYA: The loss of a child is traumatic for any parent, but the Chesters have not been able to even give their son Nathen Renze Chesters a proper burial.

The 14-year-old died at sea after a training dive went wrong near Tokong Sanggol, a small island off the south-eastern town of Mersing, Johor in early April 2022. His body was never found.
