Ibrahima Bah, found guilty of manslaughter for the deaths of four migrants who drowned in the English Channel, has been denied a challenge to his conviction.
During the Court of Appeal hearing, Bah's counsel argued that smugglers forced him to pilot the unsafe boat, while the prosecution insisted he had a duty of care to the passengers.
Lady Chief Justice Baroness Carr ruled against Bah's appeal, stating that it was not arguable, emphasizing the joint responsibility shared by the pilot and passengers.
The Crown Prosecution Service maintained that the passengers acted in concert with Bah, arguing that his actions constituted facilitation of the tragic event.
