Heavy rain and flooding in Nadi have claimed three lives.
Dead are Shinal Mudaliar and her father – Veer Gounder, who are the two drowning victims in the ‘Uciwai’ tragedy.
Shinal was the wife of Suva Sangam soccer player – Sandeep Mudaliar.
The father and daughter had left their house this morning, and were headed to Nadi airport to pick up Mr. Gounder’s son – who was expected to be married next weekend.
It has been confirmed the car got washed off the Uciwai Bridge.
Meanwhile, a 19 year old male has drowned after he was trying to cross a small creek in Waimalika, also in Nadi.
Meanwhile, two bodies are yet to be recovered – after they were reported to be stranded inside their house, in Vatulaulau Stage 2 in Ba, earlier today.
Eyewitnesses claim the two were stuck inside the house, due to strong currents.
