A further extension has been granted by the Magistrates’ Court in relation to the 59-year-old man who was arrested on suspicion of gross negligence manslaughter in connection to the two-vessel collision in the North Sea.
Humberside Police say that the man was arrested late on Monday evening (10 March), and he has remained in custody since this time with an additional 36-hour extension granted by the Magistrates’ Court on Wednesday, 12 March, and now a further 24-hour extension granted yesterday afternoon (Thursday, 13 March).
Officers say:
"Additional time has been imperative to the investigation due to the complexities of the incident with the vessels in the sea, the number of witnesses involved and establishing any scenes to collate and gather information and evidence.
Extensive lines of enquiry are continuing, and further updates will be provided when we can.
Specialist officers are continuing to support family of the missing crew member of the Solong, who is believed to be deceased. Our thoughts are with the family at this incredibly difficult time."
