Police in the UK have begun removing the 39 bodies found in a refrigerated lorry trailer in Essex.
Private ambulances moved the first 11 victims late last night.
Essex Police believe they're all Chinese, but that's not been confirmed by China.
A 25 year-old Co. Armagh man remains in police custody, arrested on suspicion of murder.
The bodies were found in a refrigerated lorry trailer at an industrial park in Essex in the early hours of yesterday morning.
Police were alerted shortly after 1:40am.
Investigators said the trailer arrived in the UK by ferry from the port of Zeebrugge in Belgium just over an hour earlier.
They said the tractor section arrived in Britain from Northern Ireland – before picking up the trailer at the docks in the Thurrock area and transporting it to Essex.
Emergency services were alerted to the discovery of the bodies just over half-an-hour after the lorry left the docks.
It is unclear where the lorry was before it arrived at the Belgian port.
