The report quoted Belgium's "news" as saying that a 23-year-old driver from Northern Ireland once told the officials of zebruch port (northwest port city of Belgium) that he did not need to open the refrigeration device of the container because biscuits did not need refrigeration. Essex police confirmed that the Irish police arrested the man in Dublin on the 26th, who drove the truck to zebruch port.
Belgium believes that the 31 men and 8 women died of suffocation rather than freezing, although this statement has not been finally confirmed.
On the 28th, Robinson, a 25-year-old driver of the "death truck", appeared in court through video connection. He was charged with homicide, trafficking in human beings and money laundering. It is reported that Robinson took over the truck from the port of Beverly, UK.
In the early morning of the 23rd local time, British police found 39 bodies in a container truck in an industrial park in Essex. So far, five suspects, including the above two, have been arrested in the 'death truck' case. On the 25th, a couple living in England were arrested. Robinson's' death truck 'was allegedly owned by the couple's transportation company, but the couple said they sold the truck to another company a year ago. Essex police also arrested a 46 year old Northern Irish man on the 25th. However, the three people were released on bail on the 27th.
