How sad for the pastor and others who were drowned!
Two migrants from Cameroon have been arrested for allegedly killing up to 10 other migrants last month, Spanish police say.
The victims were allegedly pushed overboard in stormy waters while on a boat from Morocco to Spain on 3 December.
A police spokesman said the pair were arrested after several of the 29 survivors on the boat claimed people had been pushed off the boat after a fight broke out over a prayer session.
A Nigerian pastor had been praying that the boat would not sink, but the Cameroonians blamed the worsening weather on the pastor, according to the spokesman, who was speaking to Associated Press on condition of anonymity,
The pair then allegedly pushed the pastor and a group of Nigerians who were praying with him overboard.
The survivors said they were not sure how many people were pushed off because the fight took place at night, police said.
The spokesman said officials were suspicious after noticing the survivors appeared afraid of the Cameroonians when they were brought ashore after the marine rescue service found the boat adrift off the coast of southeastern Spain on 5 December.
He said police also found €1,500 (£1,150) on one of the detained which the survivors claimed had been stolen from the victims.
Police say there were around 50 people on the boat, but 10 others had died when they fell into the sea.
African migrants looking for a better life in Europe often try to reach Spain by boat via the Mediterranean Sea from Morocco.

And Jonah swallowed the whale. No! And the whale swallowed Jonah. Msceeew. Wether Jonah swallowed the whale or the whale swallowed Jonah all I know is that there was some swallowing. Lmao. I know it's not funny but the story reminds me of Jonah in the bible and my school chaplain's version of the story
If this version is true, then it's something very shameful to the whole nation. Theft+murder= severe egoism and heartlessness.
i was reading this story on another blog but couldn't imagine cameroonians were involved.I am quite shocked by these grave allegations,didnt know our people are this violent and heartless.how on earth do you steal from someone and then push them into the sea to die?who does that?smh
It's hard to point a finger at cameroonians especially when the boat was that full. Yes these cameroonians may be among those pushing. They can't claim that two people pushed 29 people into the sea and no one attempted to push them back. I watched the news and most of them were nigerians so I don't see how two cameroonians can over power all those nigerians. Anyhow it is a really a shame for anyone pushing another human being into the sea when you know survival is almost impossible.
