Tanker master inquest to start

The tanker is heading to Sweden

An inquest is to open on Monday into the death of a ship's master, murdered on board an oil tanker as it passed the British coast.

Walfredo Banta, 34, from Manilla in the Philippines, was stabbed to death aboard the 100,000-tonne Overseas Josefa Camejo on Thursday.

A crewman who went missing following the attack three miles off Brixham, Devon, has not been found.

The oil tanker is now continuing on its passage from Venezuela to Sweden.
