Bournemouth MP calls for safety review after deaths of two youngsters
The Guardian
|June 03, 2023
An MP has called for a safety review following the deaths of two young people who got into difficulties off a crowded Bournemouth beach, and urged police to clarify the circumstances around their deaths to end "wild speculation".
Dorset Belle, a sightseeing boat, appears to be at the centre of the investigation into Wednesday's incident in which 10 people were rescued from the water.
A 12-year-old girl from Buckinghamshire and a 17-year-old boy from Southampton were taken to hospital, where they were pronounced dead. The other eight were treated by paramedics at the scene.
A man in his 40s, who was "on the water" at the time, was arrested on suspicion of manslaughter and released under investigation on Thursday while police continued their inquiries.
Later yesterday, it emerged that the Dorset Belle "was not licensed" by the local authority. A spokesperson for Bournemouth, Christchurch and Poole council told the PA Media: "We do not license this boat."

'Glacial pace' Master of slow cinema perfected isolation
The semiofficial genre of “slow cinema” has been around for decades: glacial pacing, unhurried and unbroken takes, characters who appear to be looking - often wordlessly and unsmilingly - at people or things off camera or into the lens itself, the immobile silence accumulating into a transcendental simplicity.
