Britain has sent documents to Vietnam to help identify some of the 39 people found dead in a truck near
London, Hanoi said Monday, as fears mount that most of the dead were Vietnamese.
The eight women and 31 men found Wednesday in a refrigerated container in Essex, southeast
England, were originally identified as Chinese.
On Monday, Vietnam said
Britain had sent documents to help with the complicated task of identifying the bodies, many who were believed to be carrying falsified passports.
