Somali pirates kill Indian Sailor on board hijacked ship

Somali pirates have killed an Indian sailor and injured one of his colleagues on board a ship which was hijacked four months ago, the Mumbai-based Directorate of Shipping of India said Sunday.

"The pirates shot dead Sudhir Suman on board the MT Sea Princess II while his colleague Kamal Singh sustained bullet injuries. Suma's body was thrown into the sea by the pirates on April 26," a press statement from the Directorate said.

The ship, now freed from the clutches of the pirates, has reached Port of Aden safely on May 6, it said.
