LONDON — Three more people were arrested on suspicion of human trafficking, British police said Friday, as part of a sprawling investigation into how the bodies of 39 people came to be found in a truck container in southeastern England.
A man and a woman, both 38 and from Warrington in Cheshire, northwest England, were arrested on suspicion of conspiracy to traffic people and on 39 counts of manslaughter, Essex police said in a statement Friday.
In addition, a 48-year-old man from Northern Ireland was arrested at Stansted Airport in England on suspicion of manslaughter and conspiracy to traffic people.
“This is a fast-moving investigation involving significant police resources dedicated to finding out the truth of what happened to the 39 people found dead,” Essex Police Deputy Chief Constable Pippa Mills told reporters.
British police typically do not name suspects until or unless they are charged and police urged the media and the public not to speculate over their identities.
