Mother joins search for only son off West Cork coast

THE mother of a Polish teenager has joined the search for her only son who has been missing, presumed drowned, off the West Cork coast.

Joanna Latek, whose husband Piotr’s body was found off Cod’s Head last week, scoured treacherous coastline between Allihies and Cod’s Head yesterday in a desperate effort to find 13-year-old Mattheus.

She was joined on the shore search by Piotr’s father, Stanislaus.
