Men jailed for deaths of 39 Vietnamese migrants in lorry

Four men have been jailed for the manslaughter of 39 Vietnamese migrants found dead in a lorry trailer in Essex.

Essex Police's DCI Daniel Stoten says the men "made their money from misery", transporting the victims in ways animals would not be transported.

Ronan Hughes, 41, and Gheorghe Nica, 43, who played "leading roles" were jailed for 20 and 27 years respectively.

Eamonn Harrison, 24, was sentenced to 18 years., while Maurice Robinson, 26, was given 13 years and four months.
