UK police move truck found with 39 bodies inside
The truck, which still contained the victims' bodies, was driven away to a secure location at nearby Tilbury Docks so that the bodies could be recovered.
The discovery of the bodies - 38 adults and one teenager - was made in the early hours after emergency services were alerted to people in a truck container on an industrial site in Grays, about 20 miles (32 km) east of central London.
Police said the trailer arrived at nearby docks having traveled from Zeebrugge in Belgium and the bodies were found just over an hour later.
The red cab unit of the truck was believed to have originated in Ireland. It had "Ireland" emblazoned on the windscreen along with the message "The Ultimate Dream." The driver, a 25-year-old man from Northern Ireland, remained in custody.
