Grim find: 39 dead in 1 of UK’s worst trafficking cases

GRAYS, England (AP) — Police were reconstructing the final journey of 39 people found dead Wednesday in a truck container in an industrial park in England, attempting to piece together one of Britain’s worst people smuggling tragedies.

A police motorcycle escort slowly led the Scania trailer-truck out of the park as darkness approached, taking it to a place where the bodies could be recovered. The driver of the trailer wore a full forensic suit and gloves as he guided the massive vehicle in the impromptu cortege past journalists.
