Kollam (Kerala): The judicial remand of the two marines of Italian ship Enrica Lexie, charged with shooting dead two Indian fishermen off the Kerala coast, was extended by 11 days by a Kollam court on Monday.
Latore Massimiliano and Salvatore Girone were brought from the central prison in Thiruvanantapuram and produced before Chief Judicial Magistrate AK Gopakumar on the expiry of their judicial custody.
The naval guards were arrested on February 19 and charged with murder of fishermen Valentine Jalastine and Ajesh Binki, who took to sea from Neendakara in Kollam.
The accused were in police custody for the first 14 days and had been lodged in a special cell in the central prison since March 5 after the court remanded them to judicial custody.
The ship is still anchored off the Kochi port as the plea of the vessel owners for permission to sail out is before the Supreme Court.
