James Cutfield, Captain of Bayesian Yacht, Under Investigation After Fatal Sinking Off Sicily
Aug 27, 2024, 05:50 PM
The captain of the Bayesian superyacht, James Cutfield, a New Zealand national, is under investigation by Italian authorities following the vessel's sinking off the coast of Sicily, which resulted in the deaths of seven people, including tech magnate Mike Lynch. The yacht, which had 22 people on board, capsized during a storm reportedly caused by a freak waterspout. Cutfield is facing potential charges of manslaughter and culpable shipwreck. The investigation has expanded to include two more British crew members, including the ship's engineer, Tim Parker Eaton. The crew members are being scrutinized for their roles in the incident, and Cutfield has declined to answer prosecutors' questions, citing being too shaken by the event.
