TWO men have each pleaded not guilty to three manslaughter charges in relation to the sinking of the L’Ecume II trawler.
Lewis Peter Carr (29) and Artur Sevash-Zade (34) appeared in the Royal Court yesterday.
Both denied unlawfully killing skipper Michael Michieli, as well as crew members Jervis Baligat and Larry Simyunn. The three men died when their fishing vessel L’Ecume II was in a collision with Condor’s Commodore Goodwill freight ship on 8 December 2022.
Mr Carr was represented by Advocate Simon Thomas and Mr Sevash-Zade was represented by Advocate Mike Preston. Crown Advocate Matthew Maletroit was prosecuting.
Mr Carr and Mr Sevash-Zade are on conditional bail and due to return to court on 15 November, when a trial date will be set.
