EXPERTS investigating the Costa Concordia shipwreck, which killed as many as 32 people, need more time to gather evidence and will present their findings at a pre-trial hearing on October 15.
The panel investigating the January 13 cruise-line disaster off the Italian coast are set to complete their work by September. The Costa Concordia, with 4200 passengers and crew aboard, ran aground and half capsized after a rock tore into its hull when it approached the tiny island of Giglio. At least 30 people died and two bodies have yet to be recovered.
