Yacht crew member Mike Lynch says he walked on “walls” trying to save people

He said the captain then “ordered everyone else to wake up” before Griffiths “stored the cushions and plants, closed the bow saloon windows and some hatches”.

After being thrown once from the tilted ship into the water, Griffiths said he climbed back on board and was “walking the walls” as he and other crew tried to rescue those he they could

Griffiths, boat captain James Cutfield and yacht engineer Tim Parker Eaton are under investigation following the sinking.

Ansa reported that lawyers for Griffiths and Parker Eaton may seek “technical advice to clarify the causes of the shipwreck”.

The head of the Termini Imerese prosecutor’s office, Ambrogio Cartosio, previously said he was investigating a “murder hypothesis” of wrongful shipwreck and manslaughter.

Experts said the state-of-the-art yacht should not have sunk so easily.

Seven people died after the Bayesian fell.

Among the victims were Mike Lynch and his 18-year-old daughter Hannah.

Speaking of the survivors, Griffiths said “Cutfield saved the little girl and her mother,” referring to Charlotte Golunski and her one-year-old daughter.

Autonomy founder Mike Lynch was on the yacht with friends and family celebrating his recent acquittal in a fraud trial.

Stephen Chamberlain, a former vice president of finance at Autonomy who was also a defendant in the fraud suit, died in a separate incident days before the Bayesian sank.
