Nine migrants found alive inside lorry container in Kent

A lorry carrying nine migrants has been stopped in Kent – hours after the bodies of 39 people were found in the back of a refrigerated truck in Essex.

The nine migrants were found alive after police were called at 3.40pm to reports of people in the back of a lorry on the M20.

Officers stopped the lorry on the London-bound carriageway between junctions nine and eight, just after Ashford, halting traffic.

In the early hours of Wednesday, a lorry trailer containing the bodies of 39 people was found on an industrial estate in the neighbouring county of Essex.
