Most of 39 UK truck victims were likely from Vietnam



NGHE AN: Most of the 39 people found dead in the back of a truck near London were likely from Vietnam, a community leader said on Saturday.

The bodies were discovered on Wednesday after emergency services were alerted to people in a truck container on an industrial site in Grays, about 32km (20 miles) east of central London.

Police said initially they believed the dead were Chinese but Beijing said the nationalities had not yet been confirmed. Chinese and Vietnamese officials are now both working closely with British police, their respective embassies have said.
