Prosecutors in The Bahamas on Friday charged four men with manslaughter after their vessel capsized as it attempted to smugle mostly Haitian migrants into the United States, leaving 17 people dead including children and a pregnant woman.
The vessel had some 45 people aboard and was on its way to Florida when it capsized around 5 nautical miles from Nassau's harbor, according to official reports.
Among the victims were a 13-year-old girl, a one-year-old baby and a pregnant woman.
