A 23-year-old unnamed man from Northern Ireland was arrested on suspicion of conspiracy to traffic people and conspiracy to assist unlawful immigration.
British police have arrested another man in connection with the deaths of 39 Vietnamese nationals whose bodies were discovered in the back of a refrigerated truck near London last month.
It's the latest arrest in the ongoing investigation into the 39 people who were found dead on Oct. 23 in a tractor-trailer at an industrial park in the town of Grays in Essex, about 20 miles east of London. Earlier this month, Essex police released the identities of all the victims, 31 males and eight females, who ranged in age from 15 to 44.
The driver of the truck, 25-year-old Maurice Robinson, also of Northern Ireland, has been charged with 39 counts of manslaughter, conspiracy to traffic people, conspiracy to assist unlawful immigration as well as money laundering. He is next scheduled to appear in court on Nov. 25.
