A man has been arrested on suspicion of endangering life after four people died during a small-boat Channel crossing on Thursday.
Prosecutors described the suspect as a 27-year-old Sudanese national. He was detained on Friday by investigators from the National Crime Agency.
The deaths happened after two men and two women were swept away by currents while trying to board a dinghy off the French coast.
The incident is the latest fatality linked to attempts to cross the Channel in small boats, a route that has repeatedly posed serious risks for people making the journey.
Authorities have not released further details about the four victims in the information provided, and the circumstances of the arrest were not expanded on in the source material.
The case is being handled as part of an investigation into the events surrounding the crossing and the deaths that followed.
