Five
migrants were arrested on Tuesday by Italian police
accused of killing fellow passengers aboard a
boat in which 30 bodies were found by rescuers earlier this month, Italian media reported. According to the witnesses,
migrants locked in the hold panicked as the air ran out and forced the door and stormed the bridge. The
boat began to sink and after clashes between two groups of passengers on the bridge -- one that wanted to brave the high seas and continue the voyage, and a**ther that wanted to return to Tunisia -- fighting broke out. Messina's chief of police estimated that 50 of the
migrants were thrown overboard and around 60 were stabbed and then thrown into the sea.
