Man wanted in UK over Essex lorry deaths was 'involved in transporting illegal migrants', judgement claims

A Northern Irish man wanted in the UK to face multiple counts of manslaughter after 39 Vietnamese nationals were found dead in a lorry in Essex last October is alleged to have been involved in transporting illegal migrants on two other occasions, a High Court judgement has outlined.

It is also alleged that the trailer at the centre of the Essex tragedy was used on one of those two prior occasions.
