Vigil planned for teenage boys who died in Lough Enagh

A vigil has been planned for two teenage boys following their tragic deaths in a Co Londonderry lough.

Reuven Simon and Joseph Sebastian had been swimming at Lough Enagh on Monday evening when they got into difficulty.

The 16-year-olds were from the city's Indian Keralan community and had been due to return to St Columb's College after receiving their GCSE results last week.

The boys are expected to be laid to rest on Friday following a joint funeral service at St Mary's Church, Ardmore.

A book of condolence will be opened at the Guildhall in Derry later.

On Thursday night, the local community in Strathfoyle are to hold a candle lit vigil, and offer solidarity and prayers to the families of the teenagers.
