And concealing themselves in plane undercarriage etc.
sorry, I'm slightly out of things; do we know how they were found and by who. What a terrible thing to discover and deal with.
Horrible story. From the photo it does look like a refrigeration unit.
I know little about freight movement but going via Ireland and North Wales seems a bloody odd way to get from Bulgaria to Essex. If it had been stopping for pick ups and drop offs the persons would have been discovered. This seems like something a lot more sinister than a few people jumping in the back when the driver was asleep.

The comments sections of NI newspapers and media outlets on Facebook make for depressing reading. I seen a guy say he feels sorry for the driver and he has no sympathy for these people because they were illegal immigrants and knew what they were getting into. These posts have garnered a lot of likes too.

It's within the realms of possibility that the driver knew nothing about what, who he was carrying. And quite apart from 'innocent until proven guilty', splashing this guy's name about seems like a great way to give anyone else involved plenty of time to go to ground.

Not too far fetched to assume that the named (Irish) guy just picked up the thing in Ireland for the stretch to UK?
If innocent, what a fucking tragedy for him.

Pretty sure that's a yes, the penalties for being found with a lorry loud of migrants are rather excessive so

I don't know that's why I asked. I assume you're supposed to be there when it gets loaded

Like I said, it's within the realms of possibility that the bloke is innocent, or at least innocent of knowlingly trafficking and/or murdering anyone. A crime as heinous as this, you've got a genuine risk to the suspect's life if his name gets released.

Not necessarily when shunting.

I'm pretty sure that some containerised transport can be checked and sealed in one place, then shipped to its destination, potentially crossing various borders and switching from one mode of transport to another, until it arrives at its final destination where the seal is broken and it's checked again. No idea if this applies to this particular cargo, obviously.I don't know that's why I asked. I assume you're supposed to be there when it gets loaded
I'm also curious about the idea that the police apparently know that the lorry originated in Bulgaria, but seem not to know how it got to Britain until it arrived in Holyhead. Surely it should be relatively quick and easy to check ferry lists to at least establish how it got from mainland Europe to Ireland and then on to Holyhead.

Not doubting you at all mate.

A cat politely sat on the flaming gardener.
He was probably given a few quid to not ask too many questions and now has to deal with 39 people dead in his lorry and being charged with their murder. So yes I have some sympathy for him. I might me wrong though he could be up to his neck in it, in which case fuck him.
