The British police issued a statement! It is believed that all the 39 victims of the truck tragedy were Vietnamese.
On the evening of November 1, local time, the police in Essex, England issued a statement saying that the police currently believe that all 39 victims of the truck tragedy last month were Vietnamese.
According to a report by Yuetong News Agency on November 1, the public security department of Ha Tinh province in central Vietnam has arrested two people suspected of organizing and introducing others to leave the country illegally or staying abroad illegally.
British police: All the 39 victims in the van were Vietnamese.
Tim Smith, the police officer in charge of the investigation of the identity of the victims in this case, said in a statement: "At present, we believe that the victims are Vietnamese citizens and the police are keeping in touch with the Vietnamese government. We have made direct contact with some families in Vietnam and the United Kingdom, and we believe that some families of the victims have been identified. "
The police said that the evidence collection work is still in progress, and it is not yet possible to announce the specific identity of the victims. The police will continue to cooperate with the Vietnamese government and other countries and appeal to insiders to help provide clues to identify the specific identity of the victims.
On October 23, British police found 39 bodies in a container truck in an industrial park in Essex, southeast England. The police said that the truck was registered in Bulgaria and entered the UK via the Welsh port city of Holyhead on the 19th. The container was from Belgium.
Surin, Minister of Public Security of Vietnam, said on October 30 that the Vietnamese Ministry of Public Security is ready to send a working group to Britain to verify the identity of the victims of the truck tragedy in cooperation with the British police.
Another suspect was charged with 39 counts of manslaughter.
According to reports, Eamon Harrison, a 23-year-old Northern Ireland man, appeared in court in Dublin and faced 41 charges, including 39 counts of manslaughter, conspiracy to traffic in persons and assisting illegal immigrants. This is also the second suspect facing charges after the truck driver Robinson.

According to British media reports, Harrison was arrested by Irish police in Dublin Port on October 26 on suspicion of acting as a driver in a criminal gang. The police believe that Harrison transported the containers containing the victims from other areas to the port of Zeebrugge in Belgium. After the container arrived in England by ferry, Robinson pulled the container from the port of fleet in England to the industrial park in Essex.
Driving route is "the key to solving a case"
According to the British police, after preliminary investigation, the truck came from Bulgaria and entered the UK via Holyhead, a port city in Wales, England on the 19th local time. However, after investigation, it was found that the "front" and "body" of the truck involved entered the UK respectively. The British police also said that the driving route is "the key to solving this mystery."
The front part and the body container enter the UK respectively.
The British police investigation said that the front part of the truck departed from Dublin, Ireland, and entered the UK via the Welsh port city of Holyhead on the 20th.
The body of the truck where the body was found, that is, the container part, arrived in Zeebrugge, Belgium at around 2 pm local time on the 22nd. After that, the ferry arrived at the port of fleet in Essex, England at around 0: 30 local time on 23rd.
At this point, the front and body of the truck involved have entered the UK and meet at the Port of fleet.
Robinson, the truck driver, left the port at about 1: 05 local time on the 23rd and went to an industrial park in Essex, southeast England. About half an hour later, the van was found in this industrial park.
Person in charge of Belgian port: There was no unpacking inspection at that time.
According to Belgian media reports, on the evening of 24th local time, the person in charge of the port of Zeebrugge in Belgium said that it was impossible for the victims to enter the container at this port. Because the refrigerated containers are completely sealed when they arrive at the port, every container will be automatically inspected at the port to see if there is any damage on the outside, and then sealed. There are surveillance cameras all the way until the container is sent to the freighter. However, the person in charge also admitted that there was no unpacking inspection of the container at that time.
It is understood that about 4,000 containers pass through Zeebrugge Port to and from Britain every day, and the frequency of unpacking inspection of containers in the port is only one out of every 400 containers on average.
At present, the route taken by the container before reaching the port of Zeebrugge in Belgium is still unknown.
31 Vietnamese families reported their families missing in Britain.
According to the website of the Vietnamese media "Labor", as of October 31, a total of 31 Vietnamese families reported the disappearance of their families in the UK to the local people’s committee, including 21 in Chun ‘an province and 10 in Ha Tinh province.
At present, many Vietnamese families have sent their fingerprints of their missing relatives to relevant departments for investigation.

CNN, you owe Chinese an apology!
From 39 people "all Chinese", to "the nationality has not been confirmed", to "many Vietnamese", and finally "all Vietnamese citizens", the incident has been reversed and finally hammered. While we are saddened by these 39 lost lives, we can’t help but think of a carefully thought-out question raised by CNN reporters at the press conference of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs on October 25, when the incident has not yet been ascertained.
CNN reporter asked:
As you mentioned earlier, in order to celebrate the great achievements and progress made by China in the past 70 years, the junior middle school held activities related to the National Day this month. But China citizens have left China in this extremely dangerous way. What are their motives? How should the outside world understand it?
In view of this ridiculous question, Hua Chunying replied on the spot:
You are from CNN, right? I think it’s inappropriate for you to ask this question. Besides, you didn’t score for CNN by asking this question. I feel that under the current circumstances, each of us is saddened by these 39 lost lives. We’re also wondering what happened. We hope that all countries in the world can strengthen cooperation to crack down on illegal smuggling or illegal immigration, right? I think it is urgent to find out the truth and find ways to solve such problems.
Just now, you preconceived that the victim was Chinese, and linked this case with our celebration of the 70th anniversary of the founding of New China. This starting point is very problematic, reflecting the deep thoughts of you or the problems of some American media you represent. What kind of answer do you want?
Netizen: Sister Hua is right! CNN’s sinister intentions are clear at a glance!
In this regard, @ CCTV News commented that it is no longer news for CNN to report the world with prejudice, and we are no longer Be the first to know. CNN used 39 lives as political props to question China’s achievements. This absurdity, indifference and even disgust threw some people’s "human rights", "humanity" and "universal values" to Java Island for many years. CNN reporter, you owe an apology to the families of the 39 victims and an apology to Chinese! Even though you have enough debts.
No matter which country they come from.
This is all a tragedy!
May the deceased rest in peace.
May the tragedy never happen again!
