Manama - The owner of a boat which capsized off Bahrain killing 58 people has been arrested for seven days for interrogation on charges of unintentional murder, the head of the public prosecution said on Tuesday.

Abdullah al-Qubaisi, from the Al-Dana company that owned the vessel which sank on Thursday, will be held for seven days for questioning "on charges of unintentional murder and unintentionally causing injury", Nawaf Hamza told reporters.

Fifty-eight people, mostly Indians and Britons, died when the traditional boat known as banoosh which had been chartered for a company trip sank off the Gulf island state.

Seventy-two people survived the disaster.
