LONDON: UK police said Friday that 10 teenagers were among the 39 Vietnamese found dead in a truck container in southeast England, including two 15-year-old boys.
Police released the list of victims of what is believed to be one of the country’s worst cases of people smuggling.
“This was an incredibly important process and our team has been working hard to bring answers to worried families who fear their loved one may be among those whose tragic journey ended on our shores,” said Assistant Chief Constable Tim Smith.
“Our priority has been to identify the victims, to preserve the dignity of those who have died and to support the victims’ friends and families.”
