New Delhi, 02 May 2012: The Supreme Court Wednesday allowed the Italian ship M.V. Enrica Lexie, from which two marines had shot dead two Indian fishermen suspecting them to be pirates. The marines will, however, continue to remain in custody in a Kerala jail.
The court accepted the Italian government’s assurance that it would ensure the presence of the four other marines on board before any court in India as and when they are summoned.
