It was a sad and heartbreaking moment when bodies of four boys who got drowned at the Bosumtwi-Sam Fishing Harbour in Sekondi last Sunday were laid to rest on Thursday, November 29.
This was after a burial service had been held for them at Ketan in the Sekondi-Takoradi Metropolis.
The four got drowned when they attempted to rescue another person who was allegedly drowning in the sea.

Julius is currently receiving treatment at the Effia Nkwanta Regional Hospital in Sekondi.
This accident comes just a few days after YEN.com.gh reported the deaths of five schoolgirls from Assin-Atobease who were run over by an articulator truck while they were attempting to cross the Yamoransa-Kumasi Highway which passes through the town after closing from school.
The burial of these girls, one week after their accident, was also a sad and heartbreaking spectacle.
