Police are investigating whether the deaths of 39 people found in a lorry in Essex were part of a “wider conspiracy” to traffic migrants, following reports the victims had set out from Vietnam in a larger group.
British detectives met with the Vietnamese ambassador to the UK on Saturday, amid claims most of the men and women found in a refrigerated trailer in Grays this week were from one rural community in the southeast Asian country.
The victims are believed to have been part of a group of 100 migrants who set out to reach the UK for “a new life”, according to Father Anthony Dang Huu Nam, minister of a Catholic church in Vietnam’s rural Nghe An province.
He described their suspected deaths as “a catastrophe for our community”.
Lorry driver Maurice Robinson, one of five people arrested in connection to the investigation, was charged on Saturday with killing the migrants. The 25-year-old, from Northern Ireland, will appear at Chelmsford Magistrates' Court on Monday accused of 39 counts of manslaughter, conspiracy to traffic people, conspiracy to assist unlawful immigration, and money laundering
Police had initially believed all 31 men and eight women found in the trailer were Chinese, but later said their nationalities were “a developing picture” and reached out to the UK's Vietnamese community for help to identify those killed.
Father Nam, a priest in the remote town of Yen Thanh, 180 miles south of Hanoi, said he was in contact with family members of several suspected victims.
He told Reuters news agency: “According to a few sources that have told me, in this case there were many people, more than 100 were on their way to a new life, but 39 died. A few families confirmed the deaths of their relatives who are the victims of this tragic journey.”
The priest said his town was “covered in sorrow”. He added: “I’m still collecting contact details for all the victim’s families, and will hold a ceremony to pray for them tonight.”
Victims’ relatives reportedly believe the container in which their bodies were found was part of a convoy of three lorries being brought to the UK. According to Sky News, two of the trucks are thought to have earlier completed their trips but third was delayed at an unknown location.
In a press conference on Saturday, detective chief inspector Martin Pasmore refused to comment whether the lorry had formed part of a convoy but said investigating officers remained “open-minded
