Police and naval divers will continue their search today for former national netball coach Unaisi Rakoura, who went missing in waters near the Navuso Agriculture School.

Ms Rakoura was reported missing after an incident over the weekend while collecting kai (freshwater mussels) with another woman.

The second woman’s body was recovered from the Rewa River, and a post-mortem examination is expected to be conducted today.

Police say divers from the Police Mobile Force and the Fiji Navy are leading the search operation as efforts continue to locate Ms Rakoura.
