A newlywed couple died after drowning during their honeymoon just four days after their wedding.

Mohammad Malik, 35, and Dr Noor Shah, 29, were on holiday in the Caribbean at the end of October when the tragedy occurred.

The couple were pulled underwater by strong riptides, Mohammad’s dad told Newsday.

It is believed the pair were swimming in chest-deep water near their accommodation when they were suddenly pulled under.

They drowned on October 28 at a Turks and Caicos Islands resort near Como Parrot Cay.

Witnesses pulled Mohammad and his wife from the water and performed CPR on them, but were unable to save the couple who died at the scene.

They had got married just four days before in Long Island, New York, on October 24.
