The roommate of Leonard Farruk, who killed himself in "Bibby Stockholm" has given details about cohabitation with the deceased Albanian. But he also made a strong appeal, stating that others could also harm themselves if the conditions on the ship converted into a hotel do not improve.

Yusuf Deen Kargbo was sharing a room with Leonard Farruk when he was found unconscious early on December 12.

Kargbo told BBC News that she had been sharing a room with the 27-year-old for 10 days.

"Sometimes he wanted to be alone. He was a very quiet person. He liked to be alone, he would sit alone and play with his phone."

He said that Farruk did not seem unhappy.

"I could hear him laughing on his phone, sometimes until one or two in the morning, I thought maybe he was watching some funny video on his phone, he was laughing so much."

On December 11, Farruk left the cabin after breakfast and returned around 6:00 p.m.

"He just said 'hello' to me and went straight to the bathroom."

Kargbo said he then left to eat dinner and pray. When he returned to the room, the bathroom was locked.

"When I knocked, I thought there was no one in the bathroom. I knocked, there was no answer. I knocked, knocked, no answer. I said 'hello' but there was no response."

It was only the next morning, when Kargbo discovered that the bathroom was still locked and Farruku was not in his bed, that he raised the alarm. But he realized that the staff did not take him seriously. But when they forced open the bathroom door, they found Farruk unconscious. He said they tried to revive him and called an ambulance. However, the young Albanian had passed away.

Kargbo moved to a hotel five days after Farruk's death, but still communicates with his friends at Bibby Stockholm. He said he still receives complaints from them about poor quality food, cold showers, and other concerns that are never addressed.

"The ship is like a prison."

Kargbo, who came to the UK from Sierra Leone, told BBC News that the people on the ship have no hope for their lives.

"They say this (Leonard's death) is just the beginning... They are trying to give a warning, the ship is not a good place for them. Every day their stress is increasing and they are getting worse."

The Maune Bibby Stockholm is intended to be a cheaper alternative to hotel accommodation for those awaiting a response to their asylum claims. The project was proposed as part of the government's efforts to reduce the number of people crossing the English Channel in small boats. The first asylum seekers came aboard in August 2023, but they had to be moved after a week after legionella bacteria was discovered in the water system. But despite the criticism, they returned again in October.
