We are all very shocked and saddened at Norfolk Wildlife Trust to learn of the tragic loss of life of two teenagers at our
Thorpe Marshes Nature Reserve. Our thoughts are with family and friends.
We are unclear as to exactly what took place that led to such very sad circumstances. We would not want to speculate, but rather await further information from the emergency services.
We put up “no swimming” signs around the former gravel pit, warning of the dangers of swimming in the area, but these are often vandalised and ripped down. New signs were erected as recently as Monday.
We will be assisting with the ongoing investigation.
