Two more arrests over 39 lorry deaths
Two people have been arrested on suspicion of the manslaughter of 39 people found dead in a refrigerated lorry in Essex.
The man and woman, both 38, from Warrington, Cheshire, were also held on suspicion of conspiracy to traffic.
Detectives are still questioning the lorry driver on suspicion of murder.
The victims - 31 men and eight women - are believed to be Chinese. They were found at an industrial estate in Grays at 01:40 BST on Wednesday.
Essex Police has been given extra time to question driver Mo Robinson, of County Armagh in Northern Ireland, who was arrested on Wednesday.
This story dominates the UK news agenda. The victims, believed to be Chinese nationals, seem to be victims of people
traffickers. I suspect this tragedy will have wide reaching effects on our society over the next few years.
RIP.
