Five Somali pirates who released a Saudi supertanker may have drowned with their share of a reported $3m ransom - as another vessel was freed.

Pirate Daud Nure said a boat with eight people on board overturned in a storm after dozens of hijackers left the Sirius Star.

The supertanker, and its $100m cargo, had been held for two-months in the Gulf of Aden before a ransom - thought to be worth ÂŁ1.98m - was paid.

Mr Nure said only three people from the capsized boat reached the shore after swimming for several hours.

Get rich, die quick.

Dorks.
