A murder investigation has been launched after 39 bodies were found inside a Bulgarian-registered lorry on an industrial estate in Essex.

A 25-year-old driver from Northern Ireland was arrested on suspicion of murder.

Local police and community sources told the Guardian that the arrested man was believed to be Mo Robinson, from Portadown, County Armagh. Essex police declined to comment.

Robinson’s Facebook profile identifies him as a lorry driver and includes pictures of him in a lorry’s cab or next to haulage vehicles.

I hope he's going to be under very close security. There are no doubt some extremely shady vested interests involved in all this, and he's just a low-level pawn.
