Ibrahima Bah: Boat pilot denies saying he would kill passengers

(BBC) A man accused of the manslaughter of four migrants whose boat got into difficulty in the Channel has denied he was heard saying: “I will either take you there or kill you all.”

Ibrahima Bah admits he agreed to pilot the boat in return for a free crossing.

But he told Canterbury Crown Court last week he changed his mind when he saw it because it was too small.

He claimed he was assaulted by smugglers and threatened with death if he did not go ahead.

At least 43 migrants were on board when the boat sank on 14 December 2022.
