Police in Belgium have obtained CCTV footage of the haulier who transported the 39 migrants in a freezing container to the UK, after he was filmed ten times at the Zeebrugge site. One lorry driver has also been arrested on suspicion of murder. Also yesterday, the owners of the lorry carrying 39 migrants who froze to death were arrested after police swooped on their £400,000 Cheshire home. In response to this Zeebrugge port said that it had put sniffer dogs and detection devices in place to spot body heat on lorry trailers, however they claimed that this did not work on refrigerated units. This latest development comes as a 48-year-old man from Northern Ireland was arrested on suspicion of conspiracy to traffic people and suspicion of manslaughter.
