forced to throw overboard the bodies of eleven others


14:05 |

One of the survivors from the immigrant boat that sank 80 miles south of Fuerteventura has told reporters that, apart from the dead body found when they were rescued, they had been forced to throw overboard the bodies of eleven others - nine adult males and two minors - during their treacherous six or seven-day journey from north Africa.

This means that a total of thirteen immigrants died as one of the mostly seriously injured survivors, who was being treated for severe sunburn at a hospital on Gran Canaria, died yesterday.
