Tanker, suspected hijack

[Hagar]

The admiralty had jurisdiction for all crimes at sea so they were hung just below the low tide line and left hanging as several tides washed over them.

That was it, I knew that the river tide had something to do with it. They were probably dead from asphyxiation before being drowned then. Food for the scavengers above and below the water level.

CPS have dropped all charges against the hijackers/stowaways after 'additional maritime expert evidence came to light'

https://www.hampshire.police.uk/new...ng-nave-andromeda-maritime-security-incident/

We can confirm that seven men, including two men who had previously been charged and who had appeared in court, will now face no further action as part of the Hampshire Constabulary led investigation into the maritime security incident that took place on board the Nave Andromeda off the coast of the Isle of Wight on Sunday 25 October.

The two men, Matthew John Okorie, 25 and Sunday Sylvester, 22, who were remanded and next due to appear at Southampton Crown Court on 29 January 2021, will now face no further action for an offence relating to conduct endangering ships under S.58 Merchant Shipping Act 1995.

This decision was taken by the Crown Prosecution Service after additional evidence came to light as part of the investigation.

Senior District Crown Prosecutor, Sophie Stevens, said: “The CPS has a duty to keep all cases under continuous review and after additional maritime expert evidence came to light, we concluded there was no longer a realistic prospect of conviction and discontinued the case.”

Five other men, who were arrested on suspicion of seizing or exercising control of a ship by use of threats or force, remained on police bail until 25 January 2021. They will also now face no further action in relation to the Hampshire Constabulary led investigation. They will remain detained under immigration powers in accordance with published processes.

I thought they would have 5 bedroom council houses by now

So now you hijack a cargo ship, get the SBS to raid you and probably end up seeking asylum?

 

[Rofflay]

OMG they got off free? They threw urine over the crew, Blockaded themselves and caused an emergency that needed the SBS. What a joke they actually want us taken over by the third world they would jail these people and put an end to all this migration but they keep doing it.


I would have thrown them in debtors prison to pay of the SBS cost and then deport them.

I bet it wasn't as good as the bit on Juggernaut where they hoy the ladders over the side of the cruise ship, and they get dropped into the water and have to swim over and climb the ropes.

I like that film.

Wanted to be back for Top Gear probably

More likely Countdown.
