A Cameroonian immigrant has been put on trial in Spain for murdering six Christian occupants of a migrant boat on account of their religion.
Alain NB, the Muslim captain of an inflatable craft ferrying migrants from
Morocco to the southern shore of Spain, blamed the Christian passengers for the
arrival of a storm and forced the six overboard. According to some of the
29 survivors, the accused “blamed the rough seas which were rocking the boat on
prayers led by a Catholic pastor on board.
According
to witnesses the captain and his second in command, another Cameroonian who
died in Spain before the trial began, “believed the weather worsened every time
the victims prayed”.
According
to the testimony, the two Cameroonian used planks of wood ripped from the boat
to beat the Nigerian pastor. “They badly wounded him before throwing him
overboard”, the public prosecutor wrote before the start of the trial in
Almería.
According
to the prosecution, the accused “was aware that the victims could not possibly
survive and that they would die, either by drowning, from the cold, or from the
physical injuries they had suffered. He was aware of the low temperature, the
rough seas and the great distance from the coast and the absence of any nearby
boats which could rescue them.”
The
prosecutor has asked for a 90-year sentence; six separate terms of 15 years for
murder with the aggravating factor of “religious motivation”. 29 survivors from
the boat were discovered in December, 2014, by rescuers in Almería.
At
least 21 died during the crossing, which was bedevilled by high winds and
rough seas. Some seven babies died during the crossing. The Cameroonians were
found to be carrying €1,500 in cash – the sum witnesses said they had found on
their victims before they were forced overboard.

Cameroonian scammer arrested in Montreal (canada
The Sûreté du Québec announced Wednesday the arrest of an alleged fraudster specialist of a scenario called "Black money scam", in which victims are invited to participate in the cleaning of soiled banknotes, then are robbed during the operation. Cyrille Ngogang, 49 years old, was caught red-handed in downtown Montreal Tuesday afternoon. He appeared in court this morning to be charged with fraud and breach of commitment. The man is not in his first trouble with the law: he was previously arrested by the SQ on 19 January for charges related to the same scheme, and had been able to resume its freedom under strict conditions pending his trial. There are several variants of the 'Black money' scenario, but all involve a so-called batch of cash that has been stained with a dye or colouring substance. Scammers ask their victim to provide money to clean the hoard.
