Channel deaths: jury hears skipper continued as boat started deflating

Ibrahima Bah accused of manslaughter of four and agreeing to steer inflatable for people smugglers

People smugglers put dozens of people on an overloaded and unseaworthy dinghy that fell apart during a Channel crossing in which at least four died, a jury has heard, as the man accused of piloting the vessel faces trial for manslaughter.

Ibrahima Bah is accused of agreeing to steer the vessel to England in return for free passage from the criminal gang smuggling his fellow travellers from France.
