PEOPLE were rescued from a second sinking boat on the same night four others died in the Channel.
Border Force officers rescued 50 people, five of whom had ended up in the freezing water, after their boat started to sink on the same night a major search and rescue operation was launched when a dinghy capsized, Government officials said.
Detectives from Kent Police are now investigating the circumstances surrounding the incident in the early hours of Wednesday morning which left four dead and saw 39 rescued alongside the National Crime Agency (NCA), amid reports that those on board paid thousands of pounds to people smugglers to make the journey to the UK.
