Samoan emergency services have been searching since Sunday for the body of a Chinese tourist believed to have been swept out to sea at the To Sua ocean trench.

The operation stopped at night fall on Sunday but continued yesterday.
In April last year a New Zealand naval sailor also went missing while visiting the To Sua trench.
Twenty-four-year-old Kiligo Joseph Lemafo'e Tua dissapeared last April, a day after he arrived at Leauvaa village to visit family.
