LONDON - British police were hunting on Tuesday for two brothers from Northern Ireland whom they described as “crucial” to an investigation into the deaths of 39 people found in the back of a truck near London last week.
The bodies were found in the early hours of Oct. 23 after the container arrived in Britain from Zeebrugge in Belgium. The container was picked up at Purfleet dock, to the east of London, by a truck allegedly driven by Maurice Robinson, who is from Northern Ireland. Police leading the investigation said Hughes, 40, and his brother Christopher, 34, from Armagh, were also wanted on suspicion of manslaughter and human trafficking.
GTR had previously said the container was leased out on Oct. 15 and it was unaware of what it was to be used for. Police, who have said their investigation would be lengthy, have arrested three other people but later released them on police bail. Irish police have also arrested a man in connection with the investigation.
