Essex lorry deaths: Vietnamese police arrest eight people
Authorities are also collecting DNA samples from families to send to UK for cross-verification
Mon 4 Nov 2019 08.57 GMT
Police in Vietnam have arrested eight people in relation to the case of 39 people found dead in a refrigerated lorry trailer in Essex about a fortnight ago, according to state media.

Local authorities have not revealed the identities of those arrested in the central province of Nghe An, but they are suspected of being part of a ring responsible for smuggling Vietnamese to Britain.

The arrests follow the Vietnamese government’s strong condemnation of human trafficking while describing the deaths – of people now all believed to be Vietnamese – as a “serious humanitarian tragedy”.

“Based on what we learn from the suspects, we will actively launch investigations to fight and eradicate these rings which bring people illegally to Britain,” said Nguyen Huu Cau, the Nghe An province police chief.

“The best thing to do now is to deal with the consequences of the incident and help family members receive the bodies.”

He reportedly added that police were treating the case as a smuggling incident, rather than a case of human trafficking.

The Vietnamese prime minister, Nguyen Xuan Phuc, ordered an investigation into human trafficking on 26 October and since then, local police have arrested a total of 10 suspects believed to be linked to the lorry deaths.

The driver was apparently also part of some paramilitary group.

The route used ahead of the tragic 39 lorry deaths in England has loyalist drug-smuggling links, according to a source.

A source told Belfast Live: “That route and the network involved bears the hallmarks of a loyalist heroin-smuggling route.

“But there are also links to well-known republican families who these days are very active in smuggling.”

BelfastLive adds: “Despite their historic sectarian differences, there are instances when former republican and loyalist paramilitaries-turned-gangsters co-operate and co-ordinate their criminality. Police are understood to be investigating links to two crime families with paramilitary ties north and south of the Irish border who are notorious for smuggling alcohol and tobacco.”

In the early hours of October 23, 39 bodies were discovered in the back of a lorry at the Waterglade Industrial Park in England. The route used saw the lorry travel from Zeebrugge in Belgium to Purfleet in England.

Irish company Global Trailer Rentals Ltd (GTR) confirmed that it owns the refrigerated trailer where the 39 bodies were discovered and that it was rented from the company’s yard in Co Monaghan. GTR said they were “shellshocked," and “gutted” by the incident but that they were “entirely unaware” that the trailer was being used in that manner. The Irish company said they are fully cooperating with Essex Police.

In a statement on Monday, Essex Police said: “Maurice Robinson, of Laurel Drive, Craigavon, [Co Armagh] Northern Ireland – appeared via video link at Chelmsford Magistrates’ Court charged with 39 counts of manslaughter, conspiracy to traffic people, conspiracy to assist unlawful immigration, and money laundering. He has been remanded to appear at the Old Bailey on Monday 25 November.”
