Fijian national and a beloved father and husband, Monitake Karakaua who has not been seen since he was swept off rocks in front of his desperate family has been remembered as a caring and dedicated person.
He visited Salmon Holes, a popular but notorious fishing spot near Albany in Western Australia’s Great Southern, with his wife, two children and friends on Anzac Day.
7news.com.au reports their day out turned to tragedy when the 29-year-old disappeared into the surf after losing his footing and falling from the rocks at about 1.30pm.
They say his life jacket reportedly failed to inflate and friends could not reach him with buoys.
They add despite an extensive, multi-day search the Fijian national has not been found.
