Lewis Carr (29) and Artur Sevash-Zade, (34) have each pleaded not guilty to three manslaughter charges in connection with the deaths of three fishermen in 2022.

The pair appeared before Jersey's Royal Court and will reappear on 15 November 2024.

Both men have been remanded on conditional bail.

Lewis Carr, from Whitley Bay, will return to the UK, and, Ukrainian national, Arthur Sevash-Zade will remain in Jersey.

Police said, in July 2024, no further arrests are planned for Operation Nectar.

"Our thoughts remain with the families of three men who died."
