HANOI - A court in Vietnam on Monday sentenced four Vietnamese people to between 2-1/2 and 7-1/2 years in prison for their role in the deaths of 39 migrants whose bodies were discovered in the back of a truck near London in October last year.

The defendants, aged between 24 and 36, were found guilty of"organising and brokering illegal emigration", after a one-day trial in the central province of Ha Tinh, Mr Pham Van Thin, the father of one of the victims, told Reuters. They were discovered last October in a container at the back of a truck on an industrial estate in Grays in Essex, about 30km east of London.
