ENGLAND – A human trafficker has been jailed for 12 years and seven months over the deaths of 39 Vietnamese migrants who died in a lorry container.

Fifty-year-old Marius Draghici from Romania, admitted to 39 counts of manslaughter and one count of conspiracy to assist unlawful immigration.

The bodies were discovered on an industrial estate in Grays, Essex, England in October 2019.

Temperatures rose to 101 degrees fahrenheit in the container, by which point oxygen levels had slumped and the air was too toxic for human life.

They suffocated to death, dying from asphyxia and carbon monoxide poisoning.
