28 July 2013

Three Swiss nationals are confirmed dead after the wreckage of a missing charter plane was found Saturday (July 27th) in Kenya's Aberdare National Park, Kenya's Capital FM reported.

The aircraft was carrying the Swiss pilot and his wife and daughter when it was reported missing over Murang'a County Thursday.

"The three persons on board were found dead unfortunately by the Kenya Wildlife Service (KWS) officials," said government spokesman Muthui Kariuki. "The government has initiated investigations on what happened."

The rescue operation has been suspended due to bad weather, said Inspector General of Police David Kimaiyo, according to Kenya's Daily Nation.
