The Termini Imerese Public Prosecutor’s Office continues its investigation into the shipwreck of the Bayesian, to reconstruct the exact dynamics that led to the sinking of the yacht. A new video and a new one witness of the shipwreck: Rosalia Orlando at the Evening Courier he said that the Coast Guard had taken the footage from the video surveillance camera that frames that very stretch of sea.
“The boat moved and rocked – Orlando tells - -, as if it was shaking, perhaps it was being pulled by the anchor that was plowing into the bottom… I also saw some sails flapping… then the mast went out and went down the other side”. And again: “No one had ever dropped anchor there, a point too exposed, I even told the Coast Guard. Around 4 in the morning, the water was coming in buckets. I went to the dock just to see the sailing ship, because that one had remained there, instead of giving the chain and engine”.
The Commander
New Zealand captain James Cutfield, commander of the Bayesian, has been locked up since the day of the shipwreck in a hotel that hosted all the survivors of the shipwreck. With his wife Cristina at his side, he left Sicily on a private flight. Destination: Spain. He will return to Mallorca where he lives and from there he will wait to hear the results of the investigation that has him under investigation for shipwreck and multiple manslaughter. Three people have been investigated so far: in addition to the commander of the Bayesian, James Cutfield, a New Zealander; the first officer Tim Parker Eaton, an Englishman, and the sailor Matthew Griffith, a Frenchman. They have all left Italy.
The autopsy
The autopsies of the first two victims are scheduled for tomorrow morning at the Institute of Forensic Medicine of the Policlinico of Palermo, and tomorrow the Prosecutor’s Office will assign the assignments to the consultants. The other autopsies will be performed next week.
The victims are: the English tycoon Mike Lynch and his daughter, Hannah Lynch, the president of Morgan Stanley Jonathan Bloomer and his wife Judith Elizabeth, the American lawyer Chris Morvillo with his wife Neda and the chef Recaldo Thomas.
