Reported from Pietermaritzburg, KZN. The body of missing Benoni man Nick Mellet, 45, who went missing during the 38th Aquelle Midmar-Mile race, was found dead in the Midmar Dam by police divers. SAPF Dog Unit spokesman Jack Haskins said Mr Mellet was found dead four days after disappearing during the popular annual event. http://bit.ly/hbVox2
About 18,000 amateur-athletes participate in this event in KwaZulu-Natal each year. Mr Mellet was identified as being missing when his coded tag failed to register at the finish line. SAPF spokeswoman Joey Jeevan announced shortly after his disappearance that ‘any underwater search by police, navy and army divers had to wait while the race was on.” There were delays in the search because of bad weather. http://bit.ly/hbVox2
