10月23號,英格蘭東部的Essex一輛貨櫃車中發現39具屍體。整個事件正朝向謀殺的方向進行調查。包括司機在內已經有4人被逮捕,這四人除了被懷疑殺害這些人,並且密謀將這些人偷渡至英國。警方正在抽絲剝繭,勾勒出這整個驚人事件過程。
火車上的有一些人是來自於越南,然而警方目前尚無法預測所有人的國籍。根據警方的說法,這些受害者身上的身分證明文件非常少,警方只能夠從這些人身上的刺青、胎記、疤痕已確定可能身分。

The dead bodies of 39 people were found in a lorry container in Essex in eastern England on 23 October. A murder investigation has been launched. Four people, including the driver, have been arrested on suspicion of manslaughter and trafficking people. The police are still working to piece together the circumstances of this horrific event.
Some of those on board may have been from Vietnam. However, the police cannot speculate on the nationality at this time. According to the police, there were very few identification papers found among the victims and they can only look for tattoos, marks or scars that could help the identification process.
The bodies were discovered by ambulance staff. However, it is not yet known who gave them the tip-off. All of the dead will undergo a coroner‘s examination to establish the cause of death. The police will then attempt to identify each individual.
