A police probe into the collision between the "Maber L" and the fishing boat "Carmel Matha" on June 11, about 14 nautical miles off the Kochi coast has confirmed the episode as a hit-and-run case. The interrogation of the ship’s crew revealed that they were aware of the collision with a fishing vessel but decided not to stop. It was revealed during the interrogation of the vessel’s captain Georgiannakis Ioannis, second officer Galanos Athanasios, and Zewana, a seaman, who have been under police custody since July 4. The ship was proceeding towards Kochi for bunkering operations when the collision took place. They, however, had no idea about the events that unfolded afterwards, including the death of the fishermen. The police custody of the accused ended on July 6 at noon when they will be presented before the Thoppumpady Magistrate Court. Meanwhile, the Ernakulam Principal Sessions Court will hear the bail plea of the accused on July 7. Two persons were killed in the accident, and one went missing.
