'He was gone': Officers give emotional testimony at Swan River deaths inquest
The officer, who can’t be named, became visibly distressed and emotional as he told the hearing about his desperate attempts to save the two teenage boys. The TRG officers happened upon the scene by chance in the Perth suburb of Maylands not far from the riverbank. 16 year old Christopher Drage and 17 year old Trisjack Simpson Ninyette drowned in September 2018 when they attempted to run from police after trespassing and a burglary in suburban Perth. Two officers pursued the group on foot with one boy splitting off while the four boys ran towards the river in an attempt to evade police.
