A huge international investigation is underway to track down the criminal gang behind the deaths of 39 people whose bodies were found in a lorry in Essex yesterday. 

The driver of the refrigerated container truck - 25 year old Mo Robinson from County Armagh - remains in custody.

He was arrested at the scene on suspicion of murder. 

Detectives in Essex are trying to identify the remains of those discovered in the refrigerated container, while police forces and security agencies across Europe are working to establish the route of the Bulgarian-registered truck which came into the port of Purfleet from Zeebrugge in Belgium in the early hours of yesterday morning. 

Stephen was joined by Roy McComb, former deputy deputy director of the National Crime Agency. He is also the former head of organised crime investigation for the PSNI.
