A Greek island ferry captain and three of his crew face homicide charges over the death of a tardy passenger who was pushed by crew members into the sea as he tried to force his way onto the departing vessel
A Greek island ferry captain and three of his crew faced homicide charges Wednesday over the death of a tardy passenger who was pushed by crew members into the sea as he tried to force his way onto the departing vessel in the country’s main port of Piraeus.
When the man once again stepped onto the ramp, one crew member stopped him and pushed him off as the ferry was departing, with the man vanishing into the growing gap between the vessel and the quay.The crew then appeared to do nothing to help him, and the ferry continued sailing towards the island of Crete before being ordered back to Piraeus.
Greece’s minister for merchant marine, Miltiadis Varvitsiotis, expressed “shock, horror and sorrow” Wednesday at the incident. He said the man had a ticket and had boarded the ship shortly earlier, dashed out for unclear reasons and then tried to reboard. Varvitsiotis also said he ordered an investigation into how port police responded to the incident.
