File photo

Two men drowned in St Paul’s Bay on Friday night.

From police reports it would seem that one of the men fell into the sea and got into difficulty trying to get back to shore.

His friend apparently jumped into the sea to try to help him but like his friend could not get back to shore.

Despite rescue efforts by Armed Forces divers and Civil Protection members sadly both men lost their lives.

Police report that both men were Nigerian nationals.
