Brit girl, 15, killed by boat propeller while snorkelling on Maldives school trip as family reveal agony after her death

A BRITISH girl was killed by a boat propeller while on a school trip to the Maldives.

Jenna Chan, 15, died in the horror snorkelling accident while assisting the British registered charity, the Maldives Whale Shark Research Programme (MWSRP), in its research expedition.

Jenna Chan was killed last month in the horrific accident

British-Singaporean dual national Jenna was a student at St Joseph’s International Institution.

On November 8, Jenna was allegedly beckoned into the water but within minutes was “sucked under” when the engine was switched on.

Her parents have said that more than a month after the tragic incident they are “still waiting for answers”.

Alan Chan and Jennifer Liauw claim they had been able to contact their beloved daughter during the trip due to a school policy of removing phones during the expedition.

A report by the Maldives police service seen by The Times confirmed: “On 8th November 2024, during [an] excursion while snorkelling between Lux Maldives Resort and Dhidoo, an incident occurred and Miss Jenna [Chan] was struck by the boat’s propellers.”

Maldivian officials was unable to offer the family a post-mortem examination of the body.

The family also claim they have not been shown any witness statements from teachers and students who were with the 15-year-old at the time of her death.
