Police release more detail about two children who died in beach incident

Police have released more details about the two children who died in an incident off Bournemouth beach in Dorset. Police say the children were a 17-year-old boy from Southampton and a 12-year-old girl from Buckinghamshire who were taken to hospital but could not be saved.

Police have also asked people to stop sharing video of the incident and instead send it to them to form part of the investigation, being carried out with the Marine Accident Investigation Branch and the coastguard.

Police said Jetskis were not involved in the incident and people were not jumping from the pier. Eight other people were treated at the scene and were not taken to hospital.
