Two men who died in a boat which sank at the weekend off the coast of Jersey had only bought and registered it three days before.

Jerseymen Roy Spencer, 46, and Terry Rennell, 55, were killed when the boat overturned off White Rock.

The pair had registered the 4.5m-long boat, fibreglass-hulled boat with the harbour department on 24 July.

The authorities still do not know what caused it to capsize.

The States vessel Duke of Normandy spent Monday in the area of White Rock looking for wreckage, but found nothing.

Police are investigating the incident and have asked anyone who may have seen the boat in trouble off the north coast to contact them at headquarters.

They are to speak to the previous owners as part of the inquiry.
