(BBC) A migrant who piloted a boat where four passengers drowned in the English Channel has been sentenced to nine years and six months.
Ibrahima Bah was convicted of manslaughter on Monday over the deaths of the migrants who were on a [dinghy] he steered during an attempted crossing.
The judge sentenced Bah on the basis he is “about 20 years old.”
Bah, whose exact age is in dispute, will serve two-thirds of his sentence in custody.
He will be detained in a young offenders institution, until it is determined he has reached the age of 21, which is when he will be moved to adult custody.
