It's believed a number of the 39 people found dead in a lorry in the UK were from Vietnam
An organisation that represents the Vietnamese community in Britain says it's been sent photos of nearly twenty people reported missing since a group of migrants were found dead in a refrigerated lorry. VietHome says the images are of people between the ages of 15 and 45. Police originally believed the victims found in the container were Chinese.
