Two men, including a Northern Irish man, have been found guilty of the manslaughter of 39 Vietnamese nationals found in the back of a lorry

Two men, including a Northern Irish man, have been found guilty of the manslaughter of 39 Vietnamese nationals found in the back of a lorry trailer.

The Old Bailey in London heard they suffocated in the container after crossing last year from Zeebrugge to Purfleet in Essex.

24 year old lorry driver Eamonn Harrison from Newry in County Down, and 43 year-old Gheorghe Nica from Basildon in Essex had both denied manslaughter.
