British police says all 39 bodies found inside a refrigerated truck in southeast England last month have now been identified as Vietnamese nationals.

Essex Police, the local force investigating the gruesome discovery of 31 men and eight women in the back of a truck on October 23, confirm that the victims’ families have been informed.
