Police in the U.K. arrested three more suspects on Friday in connection to the deaths of 39 Chinese and Vietnamese nationals whose bodies were discovered in the back of a container truck in Grays, east London, on Wednesday. Thirty-one men and eight women had been locked in a refrigerated trailer that officials believe may have departed from Bulgaria.
A man and a woman, both 38 and from Warrington, were arrested overnight on suspicion of manslaughter and of conspiracy to traffic people, Essex police said in an update.
