TWO men accused of manslaughter following the sinking of the L’Ecume II trawler will face a four-week trial starting on 1 September next year.

Lewis Peter Carr (29) and Artur Sevash-Zade (34) appeared in the Royal Court yesterday to hear the date of their trial.

Both denied unlawfully killing skipper Michael Michieli and crew members Jervis Baligat and Larry Simyunn, when their fishing vessel was in a collision with Condor’s Commodore Goodwill freight ship on 8 December 2022.

They remain on bail.
