AT least 30 Venezuelan migrants are missing after the speedboat they were traveling in sank on its way to Curacao, an opposition lawmaker said Tuesday.

The vessel left from a village in the northwest Friday with 30 to 35 people on board, deputy Luis Stefanelli told reporters, quoting family members.

“No one has been in touch with their families, which makes us fear the worst,” said Stefanelli.

The body of a man wearing a life jacket was found near Bullenbaai bay in Curacao, according to a coast guard statement published by media on the Caribbean island.

However, it was not clear if he had been aboard the speedboat that left clandestinely from the Venezuelan village of Aguide in Falcon state. It’s the third such boat carrying Venezuelan migrants to capsize in the last month, with a total of 80 people now missing. The previous two boats were heading for Trinidad and Tobago. (SD-Agencies)
