Two more people have been charged with organizing illegal entry into Canada in connection with a ship that brought hundreds of Tamil migrants to B.C.'s West Coast.
According to documents sworn in B.C. provincial court in Vancouver, Kunarobinson Christhurajah and Lesly Jana Emmanuel were charged Monday in connection with the MV Sun Sea, the boat that arrived off the B.C. coast in August 2010, carrying 492 people.
Christhurajah and Emmanuel are both named in an amended indictment, bringing to three the total of people now charged in the case.
Christhurajah and Emmanuel were both arrested in B.C. and are slated to make an appearance in Vancouver Provincial Court Wednesday morning.
"The investigation remains ongoing and we're continuing to gather evidence," said RCMP Sgt. Duncan Pound.
