A THREE-YEAR-OLD refugee boy drowned in the Aegean Sea yesterday after the boat carrying him and 33 other people was rammed by the Greek coastguard.
The coastguard vessel was on a routine patrol around the island of Kos in the early hours of yesterday when it overturned the unlit migrant boat making its way from Turkey.
All but the three-year-old and another man, who remains missing, had been saved by the time the Star went to press. Six people were in hospital in Kos.
