The jury in the trial of an asylum seeker accused of manslaughter over the deaths of four people who were in a small boat with him during his journey across the Channel has been discharged.
Ibrahima Bah, who is older than 18, was on trial accused of piloting the inflatable boat carrying at least 43 people across the sea from France on 14 December 2022.
Bah, of no fixed address, denies the charges of four counts of manslaughter and one count of piloting the boat facilitating illegal entry to the UK during the four-week trial at Canterbury crown court.
A date has not yet been set for a new trial.
