A boating accident in Solomon Islands has left three people dead.
The Solomon Star reports eight people were returning from a funeral on Saturday when the boat they were travelling in capsized in rough seas in north east Malaita.
The five people who survived had been rescued by a World Vision boat stationed at Kwai Island following an emergency rescue call.
Three bodies were recovered over the weekend.
