Driver arrested after 39 bodies found in lorry container in Essex
Guardian ^ | October 23, 2019 | Staff

A murder investigation has been launched after 39 bodies were found inside a lorry from Bulgaria on an industrial estate in Essex.

A 25-year-old driver, from Northern Ireland, has been arrested on suspicion of murder.

The victims, found at the Waterglade industrial park in Grays, were all adults apart from one teenager, Essex police said.

The force said the lorry was believed to be from Bulgaria but entered the country in Holyhead, the Welsh port town that serves Ireland.

The home secretary, Priti Patel, said Home Office immigration officials were working closely with the police to establish what happened, while the National Crime Agency (NCA), which has a remit to investigate organised immigration crime as well as human trafficking, said it was looking into whether organised crime groups might have played a role in the tragedy.

Police officers were called by the ambulance service shortly before 1.40am on Wednesday after the discovery of a container with people inside at the industrial park in Eastern Avenue.

“The home secretary, Priti Patel”

A fine Irish name...

Just heard Corbyn make a comment on the floor of the House about it which strongly hinted that he thinks that the solution is...no more border controls.

Predictable from a bearded Maoist like him.

No guns were used so it’s not useful.

Give them time. They are trying to figure out why it is Trump’s fault. No tragedy goes to waste. You know it is coming.

The British are too gay to call a truck a truck.

Probably Turks brought across Europe in the truck.

Similar thinks happen along our southern border — except that people will die from the heat in an enclosed truck.

Carbon monoxide leaking into the back of the truck?

Reefer truck. I saw a report they are corpsicles. Cause of death unknown as of yet, but being frozen to death is the leading contender IMHO.

Possibly that had a part to play in the tragedy.

“Apparently frozen to death in a reefer truck.”

“Darn! I knew I forgot something. And the freezer On/Off switch was RIGHT THERE on the dash!”

“When they found Carbone in the meat truck, he was frozen so stiff it took them three days to thaw him out for the autopsy.”

Maybe he was bringing in already dead frozen bodies to sell to medical schools. I saw a “Mondo” film on this fifty three years ago.

Oh grow up. I wasn’t making fun of that. I was laughing about post 2. Why don’t you get his post ‘Removed by Moderator’?
