A two day search for the missing teenager from Breadasdorp has drawn to a close.

Ashlin Ekseen’s body was found by police divers at Arniston beach not too far from where she went missing over the Easter weekend.

The 13-year-old girl who attends Albert Myburgh Secondary School, went missing on Sunday after a family outing to the beach.

It is believed that Ashlin was swept out to the sea by a rip current while swimming with her 17-year-old sister Allison.

Reports of no lifeguards present at the time surfaced, as her family and holidaymakers search in vain to find her in the sea.

National Sea Rescue Spokesperson, Craig Lambinon says “local divers spotted the girl’s body during an on-going grid pattern dive search”.
