Docks where container was discovered
A third Northern Irishman has been arrested over the death of an immigrant at Tilbury Docks in Essex.
The 47-year-old from Dungannon was arrested on suspicion of manslaughter by Merseyside Police at Liverpool Ferry Port yesterday.
On August 16, 35 people were found in the container at Tilbury docks.
One of the men in the container, 40-year-old Meet Singh Kapoor, died.
The victims found in the container ranged in age from one to 72, and all came from Afghanistan via Brussels.
A 34-year-old man from Limavady and a 33-year-old man from Derry were arrested last month.
They remain in custody and will appear at Basildon Crown Court in December.
The man arrested yesterday will be transferred to Essex police later.
