Essex lorry deaths: Vietnamese police arrest eight people
Authorities are also collecting DNA samples from families to send to UK for cross-verification
Police in Vietnam have arrested eight people in relation to the case of 39 people found dead in a refrigerated lorry trailer in Essex about a fortnight ago, according to state media.
Local authorities have not revealed the identities of those arrested in the central province of Nghe An, but they are suspected of being part of a ring responsible for smuggling Vietnamese people to Britain.
