Yury Popov, the boy’s father, said no relatives were near his son to help him into the water, although initial reports said the 23-year-old’s girlfriend had managed to flee the attack.
The man stated:This is an absolutely ridiculous coincidence as it is a safe beach. There are boats and yachts nearby. It has never happened there. They usually attack on wild beaches. It’s just some kind of godless fateβ.
Before the horrific attack, father and son had been living in Egypt for several months. Popov said he would cremate his son and return his ashes to his native Russia Daily mail.
