| Horrific accounts emerged Tuesday of how 30 migrants were left to die, bolted by traffickers into the suffocating hull of an overcrowded fishing boat, as their bodies were brought to Sicily for burial.
"There were too many of us. They forced us onto the boat, though there was no space left. Those inside, with the hatch closed, they were killed," a young Syrian survivor was quoted as saying by the Corriere della Sera daily.
"When they tried to get out, to escape the heat, the lack of oxygen and the fumes, the traffickers -- fearing the boat would capsize -- gave the order to keep them inside, bolting the hatch," the paper said.
