ITALIAN MARINES
TO BE
SHIFTED TO KOCHI
Two Italian
marines, lodged in the Central Prison here for allegedly shooting to death two
Indian fishermen, would be shifted to Kochi. This was decided by the state
government on Wednesday 23rd May,2012,in view of the Supreme Court
direction to it to take a stand on the plea of the Italian authorities to move
the marines away from the Central Prison. Borstal school, where the two marines
will be kept in Kochi, is normally used to lodge delinquent offenders. State
Home Minister Thiruvanchur Radhakrishnan said the government would inform
Kerala High Court of its decision when the bail plea of the naval guards come
up. The marines, Latore Massimilliano and Salvatore Girone, have been in
judicial remand for the last three months and lodged in the Poojappura Central
Prison Thiruvananthapuram.
They have moved
the High Court for bail after the district court in Kollam rejected their plea.
The naval guards onboard Italian oil tanker 'Enrica Lexie' were arrested on
February 19 and charged with murder of fishermen Valentine Jalastine and Ajesh
Binki, who took to sea from Neendakara in Kollam, after they fired at them
apparently mistaking them.
