"The bodies of 39 bodies appear to be Chinese nationals," discovered yesterday in a freezing container in an industrial park in Essex, southeastern England, according to local media, including the BBC.

Local police are arresting a man in their 20s who is a container vehicle driver for murder and investigating whether they have been involved in smuggling or trafficking crimes.

The freezing container came from Belgium, and the freight car loaded with the container is said to be a Bulgarian registered vehicle.
