UK police arrest three more suspects, confirm 39 truck victims who died were from Vietnam foxnews.com

British police said Friday that all 39 people found dead in a refrigerated container truck last week were Vietnamese nationals while authorities in Ireland and Vietnam confirmed that three more people had been arrested in those countries in connection with what appears to be a human smuggling tragedy.

Police initially believed the victims discovered in the truck near the port of Purfleet in Essex, England on Oct. 23 were from China, but families in Vietnam have contacted authorities there with concerns for missing relatives.
