Fisherman dies in freak accident on Cork trawler 2 years after tragic death of young son as ‘respected crew man’ mourned

A FISHERMAN who lost his young son in tragic circumstances two years ago has sadly died in a freak accident on a trawler off the southwest coast of Ireland.

Moses Odonkor, who was originally from Ghana, suffered fatal injuries on a trawler off the coast of Cork on Tuesday morning.

His crew mates tried to revive him, but sadly were unsuccessful in their attempts.

The authorities were contacted and the ‘Boy Jason’ trawler made for shore arriving in Castletownbere, Co Cork, on Wednesday morning.

A post-mortem examination is due to be carried out at Cork University Hospital.

The coroner has been informed and an inquest will be heard in due course.

The vessel was fishing for prawns on the Porcupine Bank, west of the Blasket Islands, when the accident occurred.

It is understood the 53-year-old suffered a blow to the head in the course of his work.

The death is being treated as a tragic accident.

The Marine Casualty Investigation Unit, the Marine Survey Office and the Health and Safety Authority have all been informed.

Lost At Sea charity chairman, Niall Duffy, said that Mr Odonkor, who was an experienced fisherman, was well thought of by his peers and the general community.

He said: “On behalf of the fishing community, I want to extend our sympathies to the family and his fellow crew mates on the tragic loss of a respected and well-liked crew man.”

Mr Odonkor was predeceased by his son Joshua.

He is survived by his wife, Philomena, and their son, Emmanuel.

TRAGIC DEATH

Moses’ late son Joshua died on January 25, 2023.

It is understood the toddler choked on a grape at the family home.

Emergency services rushed to the scene but were unable to resuscitate the youngster.

Joshua was later laid to rest in St Patrick’s cemetery in Coronea, Skibbereen, following prayers at a funeral home.

FBI should investigate Prince Harry not Andrew – he lied for a visa, expert slams

AN EXPERT has claimed the FBI should investigate Prince Harry for potentially “lying” on his US visa application – rather than looking into Prince Andrew.

Royal photographer and expert Arthur Edwards spoke to The Sun’s Royal Editor Matt Wilkinson on the Royal Exclusive Show this week.

His reaction came in response to a request by the lawyer for the victims of Jeffrey Epstein that the royal family and UK government hand over Prince Andrew to the FBI for an investigation.

He said: “The FBI have investigated it once, I’m sure they’ve got better things to do.

“Why don’t they investigate Prince Harry?

“Harry got a visa when he admitted taking drugs at school.”

Prince Harry has been embroiled in a legal battle over his US visa application after it was revealed in his memoir Spare that he had previously consumed cannabis, cocaine, and psychedelic mushrooms.

The duke’s legal team were summoned to court on Wednesday for a “motion for relief from judgement”, following pressure from conservative think-tank The Heritage Foundation.

While the judge had ruled in September last year that his documents would not be made public, judge Carl Nichols re-opened the case, with the hearing taking place in the US capital.

This will be the first time the case has sat since the second inauguration of President Trump, who has previously warned Harry that he could face consequences if he lied about taking drugs on his US visa application.

President Trump said in a GB News interview with Nigel Farage in March last year that Harry should not receive preferential treatment.

Asked if the duke should have “special privileges” if he is found to have lied in his application, the president said: “No. We’ll have to see if they know something about the drugs, and if he lied they’ll have to take appropriate action.”

He also previously vowed, before he was elected, that “Harry is on his own” if he became president again.

The president also has the power to intervene and can ask for the documents regarding his application to be released.

In his controversial memoir, the prince said cocaine “didn’t do anything for me”, adding: “Marijuana is different, that actually really did help me.”

Returning to the idea of turning over Prince Andrew to the FBI, expert Arthur believes it is unlikely to happen.

He said: “They’ve got better things to do than that and also it would embarrass the Royal Family for the FBI to bring a charge against Andrew for something they’ve already done just because a lawyer says the FBI should do it.

“Lawyers are going to say that because they’ve got people to defend.

“The thing is, I think Andrew is his own worst enemy.”

All about Prince Andrew

Arthur continued: “He’s arrogant and he does things without thinking and he ignores advice.

“The biggest advice he ignored was doing that show with Emily Maitlis – the Newsnight show.

“It was an absolute disaster for him and the royal family.

“The king had no choice but to cast him aside.”

Prince Andrew paid millions to Epstein victim Virginia Giuffre in an out-of-court settlement three years ago, while denying sexual assault accusations.

In 2020, the FBI asked the Home Office for help to quiz Andrew but that investigation was paused last year.

Last week, High Court files revealed the prince emailed Epstein in February 2011 saying “we’ll play some more soon”.

But in his BBC Newsnight interview, Andrew said he ceased contact with Epstein in December 2010 after they were pictured in New York.
