“Whoever did this had intentions of doing it because the people were found tied. It is unfortunate that this happened and people go to the beach at any time but some are there for no good reason in the middle of the night,” the report quoted Jansen as saying.
Jansen said bodies being dumped on beaches was a growing trend and that government needed to beef up its beach security, especially at night.
