A manslaughter investigation has been opened
into the deaths of seven people on board the superyacht,
which sank off the coast of Sicily.
British tech Mogul Mike Lynch and his 18 year old daughter
Hannah were among those recovered after the Beijing sank.
Public prosecutor Ambrogio Cartosio said that
while the yacht had been hit by a very sudden meteorological event,
it was plausible that crimes of multiple manslaughter
and causing a shipwreck through negligence had been committed.
There are many possibilities of culpability.
It could be just the captain,
it could be the whole crew,
it could be the guard. We are evaluating all of the factors
to see whose behaviour fault can be assigned to, he said.
