THE States police are appealing for anyone who may have information regarding the sunken L’Ecume II trawler which collided with the Condor Commodore Goodwill last month.
An independent investigation into the incident was launched by the States police earlier this week to establish any criminal culpability.
Officers are also being supported by the UK Maritime and Coastguard Agency with the case.
The L’Ecume II, skippered by Michael Michieli, sank after colliding with Condor’s Commodore Goodwill freight ship off Jersey’s west coast at around 5.30am on Thursday 8 December.
On Boxing Day, the police confirmed that two bodies recovered from the wreck by an unmanned craft several days after the incident were those of Filipino crewmen Jervis Ramirez Baligat and Larry Simyunn.
However, the search of the trawler has now concluded and the body of Mr Michieli is yet to be found.
In a statement release by the States police, they said: ‘Police would like to hear from anyone with any relevant information relating to the collision who may have seen it, or that may have spoken to anyone involved on the morning of Thursday 8 December.
‘Anyone with information that may assist this investigation is asked to contact the States police on 612612 or the independent charity Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111 or via their anonymous online form at Crimestoppers-uk.org.’
