A Muslim migrant in Spain is on trial for murdering six Christian refugees, including a pastor, on a 2014 voyage across the Mediterranean from Africa to Europe, believing that a storm and rough seas had been caused by their Catholic prayers.

The captain of the boat is accused of savagely beating the pastor with a wooden plank and stealing money and religious symbols from the Christians before throwing them overboard, leaving them to drown in the frigid waters, as recounted by multiple witnesses.

The prosecutor is asking for six separate terms of 15 years for murder with religious motivation, amounting to a 90-year sentence.

A similar case occurred on a crossing from Libya to Italy in April last year, where fifteen Muslim migrants were arrested for murdering 12 Christians and throwing their bodies into the sea.
