39 dead people found in container in Essex

Reports I saw were -25, not 5.

 

Yes sounds from those texts that the issue was lack of oxygen rather than the cold.

 

As usual, what's reported isn't necessarily factually correct. If the cause of death were suffocation then it's possible that the refrigeration unit wasn't switched on at all. Just that it was capable of delivering a temp. of -25°C.

 

Yes my assumption. Or it was turned, possibly by mistake, probably after they had already suffocated.

 

There were whispers that loyalist groups in northern Ireland were involved in people traffiking.
This would look like confirmation.
I wouldn't be surprised if both sides were involved.
Hope they get to the top of the group and crush them.
These people profit of human suffering and should be locked away for life

 

Not just that but also money laundering and human trafficking offences. Suggests the police have some evidence the driver is more heavily involved than simply being the poor sap in charge of the truck when the bodies were discovered.

 

In a few months they'll be making money by smuggling English into the EU......

 

Lorry driver has admitted involvement in a conspiracy to smuggle people into the country illegally:
