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.
