Who is Mike Lynch Wife Missing

Who is Mike Lynch Wife 

The wife of missing British billionaire Mike Lynch has revealed that the superyacht they were travelling on listed before it sank, and she allegedly had to walk over broken glass to escape.

Speaking to Italy's La Repubblica, Angela Bakris said she and her husband woke up at 4am on Monday when the yacht, the Bayesian, "listed".

The 57-year-old told the publication that she was initially not alarmed, and got out of bed to see what was happening. Glass then shattered, causing confusion.

The outlet reported that Bakris suffered injuries to her feet, which were likely caused by walking on broken glass during the sinking.

The report said that the injuries have confined her to a wheelchair, and she also has bandages on other parts of her body.

The 183-foot superyacht was carrying 22 people when it capsized and sank off the port of Porticello in Sicily on Monday morning. Six people, including Lynch and his daughter, are missing, while one body has been recovered, according to local media.

Italian news agency Ansa reported that the vessel capsized when a sudden storm or waterspout hit the area during a storm.

It quoted eyewitnesses as saying that the yacht's mast broke while it was anchored during the storm, causing it to lose balance and overturn.

It said rescuers believe the bodies of the missing are trapped inside the vessel, which is about 50 meters below the water surface.

Salvatore Cocina, director general of the Civil Protection Agency of Sicily, told the BBC that among the missing was Mike Lynch's 18-year-old daughter Hannah Lynch.

Dr Domenico Cipolla, who works at the Palermo hospital where some of the survivors are being treated, told Reuters that they were "very tired" and "constantly asking about the missing people".

"We have given this information to the survivors, but they talk and cry all the time because they realize that the chances of their friends being found alive are very low."

Lynch is one of Britain's best-known tech entrepreneurs, who founded software company Autonomy, which was sold to Hewlett-Packard for $11 billion.

The sale resulted in a legal battle, which in June saw Lynch cleared of fraud charges in the US.

Lynch was reportedly celebrating a victory in a lawsuit just before the yacht sank.
