(BBC) A teenager has gone on trial accused of killing four migrants who died attempting to cross the English Channel in a small boat.
The deaths happened when a dinghy ran into trouble off the Kent coast in December, with 39 people being rescued.
Ibrahima Bah, 19, denies four charges of manslaughter and another charge relating to the piloting of a boat.
Judge Mr Justice Cavanagh told Canterbury Crown Court that all, or most on board, were seeking asylum.
One of the four who lost their lives was named as Hajratullah Ahmadi. The other three men were described as “unknown.”
