Both the pilot and the captain have been given suspended sentences after the fatal boat accident off Tjörn this summer. The family affected welcomes the fact that the accident has been tried in court. But there is really no joy in such a verdict, says Elisabet Rohtlieb, the plaintiff's attorney.
SwedenNeither the captain nor the pilot noticed that the cargo ship Misje Verde had hit anything. The captain believes that the pilot is responsible for the accident, while he himself has general responsibility for what happens on the ship, he says at the trial over the accident outside Tjörn. He is being released from custody pending the verdict.
SwedenThe father on the pleasure boat in the Tjörn accident describes how he was pinned down but then managed to get free. When he comes to the surface, he sees two life jackets, one with his son in it while the other is empty. Then I break down a little, because I realize that my daughter, who couldn't really swim, doesn't have her life jacket on and that it's probably over for her, he says during the trial.
