French prosecutors on Wednesday charged four people on suspicion of involuntary manslaughter over the deaths of at least six migrants whose boat sank in the English Channel last weekend, a judicial source told AFP.
The suspects, two Iraqis and two Sudanese, were detained shortly after the vessel carrying around 65 people capsized early Saturday, leaving six Afghans dead, the source said, confirming a report in French daily Le Monde.
