Five persons, including four of a family, from the Immaculate Conception Colony in Borivali drowned at a beach picnic in Ratnagiri on Sunday afternoon.
They are Monica D'Souza, 44, Sanomi D'Souza, 22, Richa D'Souza, 19, and Mathew D'Souza, 18, besides their neighbour and family friend Kenneth Masters, 56.
The incident occurred at the small Aare-Ware Beach near Devrukh in Ratnagiri when they were en route to famed Ganpatipule.
Apparently ignoring Met warnings, the victims ventured into the choppy waters, but were trapped in a sudden whirlpool that built up at an intersection in the Arabian Sea and a creek along the beach.
Their bodies were likely to reach Mumbai on Monday for the last rites in Borivali West's IC Colony which plunged into a pall of gloom.
Two Thane cousins -- Anand Gupta and Nandini Gupta -- drowned when they accidentally walked into a ditch full of water, which was dug up to lay a sewage pipeline, on Sunday.
