The 39 people found dead in the back of a truck in the United Kingdom are all Chinese nationals, police confirm, hours after officials raided three properties in Northern Ireland.

Essex Police said in a statement:"Throughout yesterday, our detectives worked with partners to conduct initial enquiries into these tragic deaths and we continue to work diligently to piece together the circumstances of this horrific event, which has led to the largest murder investigation in our force's history.

Police are trying to piece together where the victims were from and how they came to be in England. Here's what we know about the investigation so far. "This will be a substantial operation and at this stage we cannot estimate how long these procedures will take," Essex Police said.

This is heartbreaking. They were probably illegal immigrants pursuing better lives.

So sad..why and who is responsible

We know of more deaths of chinese people overseas than in so called chinese education camps...

This is the type of irresponsible practice the left encourage... We have countries for a reason. They take care of their own citizens...

So probably racist attack then ?

How and why would Chinese nationals travel the entire Asian continent to perish on the last island hop of their journey?

Oh dear

You know he has been released without charge! Poor desperate souls. If they were willing to risk suffering like this, what the hell were they running from? Heart breaking 💔 I blame the left for this, opening boarders for illegal immigration just for a few votes, European culture is changing and people dont have a choice
