Swedish prosecutors said a British citizen will remain in custody for a further two weeks on suspicion of being drunk on a freighter involved in a fatal collision in the Baltic Sea.

On Monday, Inverness-registered ship Scot Carrier collided with Danish-flagged Karin Hoej off the coast of southern Sweden, causing the latter to capsize.

One person was later found dead inside Karin Hoej as it was being towed ashore and another crew member from the ship is still missing at sea.
