Swedish prosecutors lobby for extended detention of ship captain involved in deadly collision

The smaller vessel subsequently sank and all four people who were on board ended up in the water. Two of the occupants were safely rescued by the crew of a Good Samaritan boat.

The two other occupants, a woman and her young daughter, were initially reported missing. The bodies of these two victims, as well as the recreational vessel's wreckage, were found over the next three days.

Prosecutors have requested a two-week extension to the captain's detention after local police reported the collection of key pieces of evidence including Misje Verde's voyage data recorder and the recreational boat itself, which had since been salvaged.

Senior prosecutor James von Reis told local media that the collection of evidence means enough information is now available for determining the parties responsible for the collision.
