Essex Deaths: New Arrests As Vietnamese Families Say Relatives May Have Been In Truck
October 25, 201912:41 PM ET

In a new development, several Vietnamese families say they fear their missing relatives who were trying to emigrate may have died in the container.

One family told the BBC that they have not heard from their daughter since Tuesday, when she texted them saying she could not breathe.

The Vietnamese Embassy in London says families have asked for its help early Friday to "verify whether their family members were among the victims."

British police arrested two more people Friday as part of an investigation into the deaths of 39 people who were discovered in a trucking container in southeastern England.

I got a feeling Vietnamese embassy will desperate try to avoid ID any of the victim to avoid humiliation. They may even refused to acknowledge them to shove them as Chinese.

I already find it fishy when China embassy after 24hrs failed to ID a single of them if they are indeed Chinese national since they have no such database in the first place.

How shameful, I though being a communist government should have remove such backward elements from their culture but it look like it made a comeback due to Foreign influence from Confucian countries.

So far Vietnamese government has not made any public announcement. It says a lot about their character isn't it?

They will disown them and claim they are Chinese national.

Majority of 39 UK truck victims likely from Vietnam

OCTOBER 26, 2019 / 3:32 PM

YEN THANH, Vietnam, Oct 26 (Reuters) - The majority of the 39 people found dead in the back of a truck near London were likely from Vietnam, a community leader from the rural, rice-growing community where many of the victims are believed to have come from told Reuters on Saturday.

The discovery of the bodies - 38 adults and one teenager - was made on Wednesday after emergency services were alerted to people in a truck container on an industrial site in Grays, about 32km (20 miles) east of central London.

Police have said they believe the dead were Chinese but Beijing said the nationalities had not yet been confirmed. Chinese and Vietnamese officials are now both working closely with British police, their respective embassies have said.

Father Anthony Dang Huu Nam, a catholic priest in the remote town of Yen Thanh in northern-central Vietnam’s Nghe An province, 300km (180 miles) south of Hanoi, said he was liaising with family members of the victims.

“The whole district is covered in sorrow,” Nam said, as prayers for the dead rang out over loudspeakers throughout the misty, rain-soaked town on Saturday.

“I’m still collecting contact details for all the victim’s families, and will hold a ceremony to pray for them tonight.”

“This is a catastrophe for our community.”


Nam said families told him they knew relatives were travelling to the UK at the time and had been unable to contact their loved ones.

Vietnam’s foreign ministry said in a statement on Saturday that it had instructed its London embassy to assist British police with the identification of victims.

The ministry did not respond to a request for further comment regarding the nationalities of the dead.

Nghe An is one of Vietnam’s poorest provinces, and home to many victims of human trafficking who end up in Europe, according to a March report by the Pacific Links Foundation, a U.S.-based anti-trafficking organisation.

Other victims are believed to come from the neighbouring province of Ha Tinh, Nam said, where in the first eight months of this year, 41,790 people left looking for work elsewhere, including overseas, according to state media.

The province was ravaged by one of Vietnam’s worst environmental disasters in 2016 when a steel mill owned by Taiwan’s Formosa Plastics contaminated coastal waters, devastating local fishing and tourism industries and sparking widespread protests.

One suspected victim from Ha Tinh, 26-year-old Pham Thi Tra My, had sent a text message to her mother saying she could not breathe at about the time the truck container was en route from Belgium to Britain.

“That girl who said in her message that she couldn’t breathe in the truck? Her parents can’t breathe here at home,” Nam said.

Westerners think all who have a east Asian face are Chinese, actually Vietnamese and Chinese have different facial features and skin complexion if they look closer.

Essex lorry deaths: The Vietnamese risking it all to get to the UK

Duc paid €30,000 ($33,200; £25,000) for a prepaid journey from Vietnam to London - via Russia, Poland, Germany and France. It was organised, he says, by a Vietnamese contact back home.

"I have some Vietnamese friends in UK, who will help me find jobs when I get there," he told me. "These friends help me get on lorries or container trucks to go across the border."

Duc tells me he needs a job in the UK to pay back the loan for his journey.

"We can do anything," he says, "construction work, nail bars, restaurants or other jobs."

___________________________________________

so the guy paid 33k dollars to go from Vietnam to the UK saying he is willing to have any kind of job to get paid, if he has no problem with any job then he could have just spend like 12k dollars to buy a car & work as a taxi driver in Vietnam.

不能停止哭泣，好痛苦！死前有39人因窒息发短信给家人。Dung的非官方消息来自受害者的朋友和英国的越南社区。消息人士称，目前中国政府尚未确认39名遇难者为其公民，美国和英国媒体已宣布越南驻伦敦大使馆一直在与英国警方合作。根据受害人的护照，他们是中国人，但是英国的越南社区及其亲属提供的信息是因为经纪人行将人们从中国旅行到欧洲，所以所有人都有中国护照。

受害人的家人向当局提供了照片和DNA以进行身份识别，并将照片发送给了英国的越南社区和在线社区，因为他们失去了与亲人接触的时间39容器中失踪的人。消息人士称，英国越南社区的一名代表正在与警方合作，并确定了20人。

他们大多数是越南人，他们遵循中国路线，因此每个人都有中国护照，可以前往欧洲国家，例如土耳其，希腊，捷克，俄罗斯，德国，然后前往比利时和法国，最终达到英国的目标。这就是为什么所有受害者都拥有中国护照，并从越南带来手机与家人联系的原因。当他们窒息时，他们给亲戚发短信以通知经纪人以通知驾驶员。在这种情况下，驾驶员在经纪人行中是因为家庭成员与经纪人联系并告诉了驾驶员，但是由于他正在渡轮，他不敢在进入检查站之前打开集装箱门或降低温度。 ，在打开集装箱卡车后一个多小时就通过了车站，为时已晚。

100个人装在三个容器中，两个跌落了，第三个被注定了。检查站具有热扫描仪的原因是，驾驶员不得不将容器中的制冷量增加到负25才能被发现，但由于他在检查站的停留时间比预期的长，因此发生了这一悲剧。出于正当理由将人们带到英国的人们应该将太多的人放在一个容器中以致窒息。野蛮的！为经纪行支付的30到4万英镑是由于家人在越南借钱的朋友或银行，在欧洲的亲戚向贷款或兄弟姐妹在向银行存钱。带您去英国。

南莫继续领导阿弥陀佛。我为人类状况，人类生活和我的同胞哭泣。请在这里放弃政府和政治问题。请与灰白色的人分享送行，并带走现在变成天堂的蓝头发的人和他们的流亡孩子，回到家中退出冒险。此刻，您应该为我们的39个同胞祈祷。最新的粪便照片来自受害人的亲戚，他们在与家人联系数小时之前，要求其他人确认身份，因为他们无法联系，并说这是他们正在将集装箱cho入英国。 Quoc。
