A devastated mum has revealed one of the last texts she sent her daughter who is feared to be among the 39 migrants found dead in a lorry.
Nguyen Thi Phong believes her daughter Pham Thi Tra My, 26, was one of those found in the refrigeration container early on Wednesday.
Pham Thi Tra My had sent her mother messages saying she was suffocating late on Tuesday evening, hours before police found the bodies.
The screenshot of Nguyen Thi Phong's text reads "Where are you daughter? I'm worried, tired, I love you so much."
Lorry driver Mo Robinson, 25, from Northern Ireland, has been charged with 39 counts of manslaughter in connection with the deaths and will appear in court on Monday.
It is thought that at least six of the 39 migrants are Vietnamese with Essex Police continuing the pain-staking process of identifying each of the victims.
Detective Chief Inspector Martin Pasmore, from Essex Police, said officers found "very, very few" papers among the victims - who were all now at Broomfield Hospital in Chelmsford.
Investigating officers will be examining post-mortem evidence and seeing whether distinguishing features such as teeth, tattoos, marks or scars could help with the identification process.
Whilst emphasising that he could not confirm the nationality of any victim, Mr Pasmore said information had been flowing into the casualty bureau at Essex Police from the Vietnamese community in the UK and abroad.
He explained that while fingerprint data could be gathered from Vietnam, accessing information from the UK Vietnamese community was a more "complex scenario".
Mr Pasmore said: "It may well be that there are people watching this tonight that are thinking 'I'm here in the UK and I'm here illegally and I want to come forward, I want to obviously try and identify my loved ones and be reunited', but they are frightened to come forward."
He explained he had met with a "facilitator" of one of the websites used by Vietnamese people to help build trust between the community and the police.
Mr Pasmore said he hoped it would help encourage people to "take that leap of faith" and make contact with his officers.
He added: "If you come in to us we will do everything we can to put our arm around you, take you through this process, identify as quickly as possible to see whether or not we do indeed have one of your loved ones involved in this tragic incident."
Mr Pasmore said investigating officers may have to try and track down families to get DNA comparisons to help identify the victims.
Links have also been established with Vietnamese officials in the UK, with Mr Pasmore meeting the country's ambassador on Saturday morning.
"We are building a really good and rapid rapport," Mr Pasmore said.
He added: "We are already agreeing a method of sharing fingerprints which may be a fast-track method of identifying some of our victims."
