Guyana police file murder charges against the captain and two crew members of a passenger ferry after it capsizes, killing more than 70 people. Reports say the charges are lodged more than a week after the disaster and are brought against the crew in connection with the wreck of a state ferry. The incident results in a high death toll and multiple missing passengers. According to accounts from outlets covering the case, 73 people are reported killed, with about 30 others still missing at the time of reporting. The police action follows ongoing efforts to recover victims and determine the circumstances that led to the capsizing. The sources agree that three individuals—one captain and two crew members—are named in the murder charges, while the broader investigation continues into what caused the ferry to capsize and the events surrounding the voyage. No additional details about the alleged conduct, court dates, or defenses are provided in the included summaries, but the charging decision indicates the investigation has identified grounds for serious criminal allegations against the involved crew.
