Not a happy ending....

 

[Dyflin]

There's a film in that story somewhere.

 

[lefkasman]

Would not liked to have been the fishermen who found the yacht

 

[marksaab]

What a sad and horrible way to go. R.I.P.

 

[jpcarter30]

Not a nice way at all - I suppose the fugitive aspect led to them not seeking help when they were in trouble. Seems a shame nonetheless.

I'll save my sympathy for the people they stole the yacht from.

 

[Will_M]

Whats to feel sorry for..

Other than as said, the owners from who the yacht was stolen from in the first instance.

Bit of a longer article here:

If you make your bed then I suppose you'll have to sleep on it.

I'll save my sympathy for the people they stole the yacht from.

I agree. Sad but no sympathy.

 

[Will_M]

Reading that extended article, just reinforces my thoughts that they both got what was coming to them. Nothing less then a pair of crooks, sorry as sad it is, its no loss.

It seems that they had both wandered through life thinking only of themselves and taking advantage of everyone they met, they deserved each other.

How they met their end is probably a fitting way, though it can't have been pleasant, I don't have much sympathy.

Does anyone know what type of yacht they were found in?
I think this is an incredible storey. Very sad indeed. I’m not sure who I feel more sorry for, the couple, or the yacht owners. Nonetheless, its sad. But how where they so ill-equipped not to send for help? Surely, they would have rather get help and survive. They were Very inexperienced to go to se i would have thought.....sad.......

Curiously enough the man involved Peter Clarke has a very similar name to someone I know who is a conman previously involved in financial services who stole a boat off my father when he was dying of cancer. Unfortunately it isn't him or I'd have been asking for a video of his suffering to watch for light entertainment.

Poetic justice......

 

[Twister_Ken]

Does anyone know what type of yacht they were found in?

A 'luxury' yacht, according to your super soaraway Times.

 

[jhr]

A 'luxury' yacht,

Is there any other kind?

Thieving toe-rags though they may have been, no one deserves to die like that. Horrible.

 

[Dyflin]

Thieving toe-rags though they may have been, no one deserves to die like that. Horrible.

Thoroughly agree.

According to the Daily Express the boat they were found on was "GIBC41 Yacht, named Skipper 7"

GIBC41 Yacht

I bet they meant a Gib'Sea. Can't get the staff..........

 

[Talbot]

Darwin has claimed another two

The gene pool could certainly do without them.
