The two deaths bring the total number of fishermen who have died in the lake this year to eight, with the incident happening barely a week after two other fishermen drowned at Karagita landing beach while laying their nets.

It took several hours for the search mission of the bodies due to water hyacinth that has covered a considerable part of the lake.

Fuel hitches for boats in the recovery mission were also experienced, leading to a further delay in retrieval of the bodies.
