Essex lorry deaths police release three people on bail

Three people arrested by Essex police investigating the deaths of 39 migrants have been released on bail.

A 38-year-old man and a 38-year-old woman from Warrington were arrested in Cheshire on Friday, while a 46-year-old man from Northern Ireland was arrested at Stansted Airport later the same day.

All three had been questioned on suspicion of manslaughter and conspiracy to traffic people.

An Essex police spokesman said: "The man and woman from Warrington have both been released on bail until 11 November while the man from Northern Ireland has been bailed until 13 November."

It comes after 25-year-old Mo Robinson, from Co Armagh, was charged on Saturday.

He was charged with 39 counts of manslaughter, conspiracy to traffic people, conspiracy to assist unlawful immigration and money laundering.

He is due to appear at Chelmsford Magistrates’ Court on Monday.
