Venezuelan authorities recovered eight more bodies, including an 11-month-old baby at sea off Guira on Sunday – a day after they recovered 11 bodies near the same area.
The victims, Venezuelan media reported, were heading to Trinidad. It is believed that the boat capsized some days ago, causing them to drown.
On Sunday, media outlet Últimas Noticias reported that the 11 initial victims found on Saturday were four women, four men, two boys and a girl ages two, six, and eight.
