More charges over Turkish coast shipwreck

More court charges have been laid in connection with the loss of a ship carrying illegal immigrants off the coast of Turkey last week.

The ship, heading for Greece, was believed to have been carrying more than eighty people, forty of whom are still missing.

Ten bodies have been found.

Two shipping officials and another two members of the crew have been charged with trafficking in human beings.

The ship's captain and three other crew members have already been charged with negligence.

Most of the immigrants were from Pakistan, Inidia and Bangladesh.
