Approximately 56 days  after former Jamaican tennis player Nicholas Malcolm was reported missing at sea and feared dead the matter remains inconclusive.

This as crucial DNA evidence is yet to be ascertained.

Whilst the matter remains under investigation the family cannot bring closure to the passing of their loved one.

In an effort to  obtain   an update on the matter Irie Fm sports  spoke  with  hotelier  Piere Batagalia  who   put the delay squarely on the DNA result.

Malcolm’s  family had expressed concern about his wellbeing after blood stained fragments of his gear were found at sea near a fishing village between Oracabessa and Galina in St Mary.

The Ocho Rios based Malcolm was considered one of the nation’s most talented players. He represented Jamaica in the Davis Cup in 1993 and last played in 1999.
