BBC Essex lorry deaths: Work starts to identify 39 bodies 23 Oct 2019

　貨物自体はどうもブルガリアあたりから発していたらしいのだが、報道時点ではどうも犯罪組織が関わっているようには、直接的にはみえんなあ、という曖昧なかきぶり。

「Police have begun the process of trying to identify 39 bodies found in a refrigerated lorry trailer in Essex.」

「Deputy Chief Constable of Essex Police Pippa Mills said the vehicle had been moved to a secure site at Tilbury Docks so the bodies of the 38 adults and one teenager could be "recovered while preserving the dignity of the victims".」

「She said identifying the deceased remained a "priority" but was expected to be a "lengthy process".」

「He said it was "highly unlikely" the deceased were Bulgarians.」

　ブルガリア人ではなさそう、という話がでていた。
　これが中国人だったっぽい、という：

BBC Essex lorry deaths: 39 found dead were Chinese nationals 24 Oct 2019

「The 39 people found dead in a refrigerated trailer in Essex were Chinese nationals.

Police are continuing to question lorry driver Mo Robinson, 25, on suspicion of murdering the eight women and 31 men.」

「Officers in Northern Ireland have raided three properties and the National Crime Agency said it was working to identify "organised crime groups who may have played a part".」

　トラック運転手の名前と身元、出身の情報は割と早期から出ていて、これ、背後のごっつい犯罪組織が、輸送実務をカタギさんにわりふったくらいの話かなあ。

「Police initially suggested the lorry could be from Bulgaria, but later said officers believed it entered the UK from Belgium.」

　ブルガリア発で、えらいこと特殊なルートを通ったか、という報道が先行してたが、穏当にベルギー経由かなあとか。
