Three students have died while nine others survived after a boat they were travelling in capsized in Lake Victoria, in the Geita region, north-west Tanzania.
Regional police commander Mponjoli Mwabulambo said the incident happened yesterday afternoon when the students were travelling from school to their homes
Mr Mwabulambo said that the initial investigation shows the boat capsized about 20 metres from the lake’s shore after the schoolchildren moved to one side of the vessel forcing it to tip over.
He said police are holding the owner of the boat for further questioning on the cause of the accident.
Boats are a main mode of transport in the islands within Lake Victoria but most of the vessels are in poor condition.
