KOCHI: The fate of the five Malayali passengers on board the Kenyan Airways flight, which crashed in Cameroon, is unknown.

All the five are from Kochi and nearby areas. Kevin Joseph Nigli and wife, Sherley, were reportedly on their way home for a visit. He is a manager at a tea estate in Cameroon while Sherley is a schoolteacher. He is believed to have worked in an estate near Athirampilly and had left the country two years ago.

Their son Savi in Bangalore has been trying to secure the whereabouts of the passengers. George Joseph Kochery and wife, Maria, who have a house in Fort Kochi, were on their way home to attend the wedding of their son, Vipin. Their son is working with Lufthansa in Sharjah. Mridula, their daughter, wife of Justin, resides in Kalamassery.

Gracy Manuel, settled in Coimbatore, was coming to visit her daughter Reena in Kochi. She has another daughter Leena, who resides in the United Kingdom. Gracy's husband, Francis Correya, however, had stayed back in Cameroon.
