Flashermac Posted October 26, 2019 Report Share Posted October 26, 2019 At least six of the 39 people found dead in a lorry trailer in Essex may have been from Vietnam. The BBC knows of six Vietnamese families who fear their relatives are among the victims. They include Pham Thi Tra My, 26, who has not been heard from since she sent text messages on Tuesday saying she could not breathe. A man was earlier arrested at Stansted Airport on suspicion of manslaughter and conspiracy to traffic people. The 48-year-old from Northern Ireland is the fourth person to be arrested in connection with the investigation. Two people from Warrington are being held on suspicion of manslaughter and conspiracy to traffic people and the lorry driver is in custody on suspicion of murder. Ms Tra My's brother, Pham Ngoc Tuan, said some of the £30,000 charge for getting his sister to the UK had been paid to people smugglers and her last-known location had been Belgium. ... https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-england-50185788 Who in their right mind would pay well over a million baht to get into England? If you have that kind of money, there has to be a better way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

passingthru69 Posted October 27, 2019 Report Share Posted October 27, 2019 The sad thing is, the family may or may not had the funds. Then the family or person smuggled in is kinda held captive in a job there to payoff the debt Sad thing is, some people pay the smugglers more than the legal visa fees are..
