Thirty-nine bodies, including one of a teenager, have been found in a lorry container in Essex. The bodies were found in a lorry on the Waterglade Industrial Park in Grays, at roughly 1.40 am this morning. It is understood the lorry was originally from Bulgaria and was travelling from Holyhead, Wales, where ferries sail to and from Ireland. The lorry's driver, a 24-year-old man from Northern Ireland, has been arrested on suspicion of murder. Police have not said where the people who died are from or where they were thought to be travelling to. They said it could take a long time to identify those who have died.
