3 arrested over Essex lorry deaths released on bail
Efforts to identify the 39 people who lost their lives continue.
Three people arrested over deaths of the 39 people whose bodies were found in a lorry container have been released on bail, according to Essex Police.
A 38-year-old man and a 38-year-old woman from Warrington were arrested in Cheshire on Friday, while a 46-year-old man from Northern Ireland was arrested at Stansted Airport later the same day.
All three had been questioned on suspicion of manslaughter and conspiracy to traffic people, Essex Police said.
The man and woman from Warrington have both been released on bail until 11 November while the man from Northern Ireland has been bailed until 13 November.
It comes after 25-year-old Maurice Robinson from Northern Ireland was charged with 39 counts of manslaughter, conspiracy to traffic people, conspiracy to assist unlawful immigration, and money laundering.
He is due to appear at Chelmsford Magistrates Court tomorrow.
The bodies of eight women and 31 men were found by police in the refrigerated trailer of a lorry on an industrial estate in Grays, Essex, in the early hours of Wednesday. Efforts to identify those who lost their lives continue, and detectives insist the investigation will be carried out with 'dignity and respect'.
