JAKARTA - Italian prosecutors are investigating two cruise crew members belonging to British tech tycoon Mike Lynch, and his captain, regarding the sinking of the ship.
Lynch and six others were killed when the British-flagged cruise ship Bayesian capsized and sank on August 19 minutes after being hit by a storm before dawn while anchored off the coast of northern Sicily.
On Monday, the 51-year-old captain of the ship, James Cutfield, a New Zealand national, was investigated on charges of murder and shipwreck.
Ship engineer Team Parker Eaton and seafarer Matthew Griffith are being investigated for the same crime, the source said.
The source also said Parker Eaton allegedly failed to protect the engine room and operating system of the cruise ship. Griffith was on guard on the night of the incident, the source said.
Being investigated does not mean guilt and does not mean there will be formal demands.

The sinking of the ship confused naval marine experts, who said ships such as Bayesian, made by Italian luxury cruise ship manufacturer Perini, should have been able to withstand the storm and, however, should not have sunk that quickly.
Prosecutors in the city of Termini Imerese, near Palermo, said their investigation would take time, and required the wreck to be lifted from the sea. Bayesian stranded on his right, at a depth of about 50 meters
