Maurice Robinson, the driver of a lorry, where migrants from China and Vietnam died, appears before the Magistrates Court in Chelmsford.
According to police, 31 men and 8 women were hiding in a container that entered the country from Belgium on 19 October. The officers noted, however, that most or even all of the migrants were already dead when they were loaded onto Robinson’s vehicle in London.
The authorities also arrested 3 other people on 39 counts of manslaughter and human trafficking.
