KOCHI: The body of the Tanzanian naval cadet who was swept away by strong currents in the Kochi backwaters on June 1 was found two days later on Tuesday.

A native of Dar es Salaam in Tanzania, Abdul had recently completed training at the Ezhimala Naval Academy in Kannur and had travelled to Kochi with a friend for a vacation. He was due to return to his home country on Monday, June 2.
