Essex lorry deaths: Vietnam police charge seven over role in trafficking
Police say one migrant was charged $22,000 before being taken to China, France and then the UK

The victims, who included two 15-year-old boys, were mostly from two provinces in north-central Vietnam, where poor job prospects, encouragement by authorities, smuggling gangs and environmental issues have fuelled migration.
