YANGON, Nov 1 (APP/AFP): Myanmar police said Tuesday they have brought charges punishable by a long jail term against the captain of an overloaded river ferry that sank last month, killing dozens of people. A total of 73 people, including scores of teachers and university students, died when the boat capsized on the Chindwin River on its way to the central city of Monywa on October 15. Dozens of bloated corpses were swept downriver from the scene of the disaster, some 70 kilometres (45 miles) north of the city, while others were found when workers dragged the hull to the surface.
