THE death of a schoolgirl who drowned alongside a teenage boy at Bournemouth Pier could have been caused by a boat, an inquest has heard. <\/p>\n

Sunnah Khan, 12, and Joe Abbess, 17, died when a horror riptide saw 10 people rescued from the sea at the popular beach on May 31. <\/p>\n


\n
\n<\/p>\n

In the hours after the tragedy unfolded police were seen scouring the pleasure boat Dorset Belle. <\/p>\n

A man was also arrested on suspicion of manslaughter but he was released and no charges were laid. <\/p>\n

A pre-inquest has now heard how the 78ft boat could not be ruled out as the cause of young Sunnah's death. <\/p>\n

Opening the hearing yesterday, Dorset coroner Rachael Griffin said she would be asking experts to probe the role the Dorset Belle played in the 12-year-old's death. <\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Bournemouth beach death victims named as Sunnah Khan and Joe Abbess<\/h3>\n

Ms Griffin said: "At the moment I don't know what caused the rip current and therefore it's likely I will be seeking an expert opinion from a meteorologist about the weather conditions and water movements on that day.<\/p>\n

"It is still too early for me to rule out the movement of the boat and the use of the Dorset Belle at the pier."<\/p>\n

However, she added, she was satisfied the man in his 40s who was "on the water" at the time and had previously been arrested had nothing to do with the deaths.<\/p>\n

Sunnah's heartbroken family are said to also be questioning the emergency response time after they raised they alarm. <\/p>\n

The coroner said: "Her family has raised concern as to what was happening in that hour to locate Sunnah.<\/p>\n

"Her family had been rescued from the water and raised the fact that she was missing and (want to understand) what was being done in relation to that."<\/p>\n

The 12-year-old's mum Stephanie Williams previously opened up about her devastation around how she hadn't been told how her daughter died.<\/p>\n

In the days after Sunnah's death, she was hailed an "angel". <\/p>\n

A family friend told The Sun: \u201cShe will be missed by everyone, she was very popular and her death will leave a hole that will be impossible to fill.<\/p>\n

\u201cShe had so much more to look forward to. She was an angel.\u201d <\/p>\n

Tributes also poured in for Joe, a budding young chef. <\/p>\n

His family said: "We are heartbroken and devastated at the death of our Joe. He was a wonderful son and brother who is sadly missed.<\/p>\n
