Trawlerman lost colleague minutes before rescue

The last man rescued from the stricken trawler Hansa held on to his brother-in-law for 12 hours but lost him five minutes before help arrived.

Juan Jesus Caamano survived in the icy Atlantic despite losing a liferaft and being buffeted by high winds. He had clung to Victor Bretal Santos until the pain in his arms made him let go. A rescue helicopter arrived five minutes later.
