Rome: The investigation into the deadly sinking of a UK tech tycoon's superyacht off Sicily has widened to include two more crew members in addition to the captain, media reports said Wednesday.
Prosecutors on the Italian island are probing potential manslaughter offences over the sinking of the Bayesian yacht in a pre-dawn storm on August 19, which killed entrepreneur Mike Lynch, his daughter and five others.
Captain James Cutfield, a New Zealand citizen who was one of 15 people who survived the tragedy, has been placed under investigation, his lawyer Aldo Mordiglia confirmed to AFP following media reports.
Engineer Tim Parker Eaton, who was in charge of the engine room that night, and a crewman on look-out named as Matthew Griffith have now also been placed under formal investigation, reports said.
Prosecutors on Saturday said their probe remained at an early stage, but have since declined to formally comment. Nobody has yet been charged.
