Six bodies that police recovered on Thursday in a marshy area of the St. Lawrence River in Quebec came from two families seeking clandestine entry into the U.S., police said on Friday, adding that an infant was still missing.
"The six individuals are believed to be from two families, one of Romanian descent and the other believed to be citizens of India," Lee-Ann O'Brien, deputy chief of Akwesasne Mohawk Police Service, told a news conference.
The six dead are five adults and one child under three years of age. Both the deceased and the missing children "were associated with the Romanian family" and had Canadian passports, which were found, O'Brien said. in Quebec, should not have been a factor here because the families were seeking to go to the U.S., not come to Canada.
The Akwesasne reserve stretches along both sides of the St. Lawrence River, with land in Ontario and Quebec on the Canadian side, and New York. To fight smuggling of people and goods, local police monitor the river full-time with funds from Quebec.
