The two remaining suspected asylum seekers who had been on the run since Aug. 26 are thought to have been found, the State Emergency Service (SES) said.
The two Vietnamese nationals are believed to be the captain and first mate of the boat that ran aground on the morning of Aug. 26 in the Daintree River in far north Queensland. At least 17 are believed to have been on board, 15 of whom had been detained as of Aug. 27, according to local reports.
