The Police have launched one of the biggest mass murder probes in British history today after 39 bodies – including a teenager – were discovered in the back of a lorry in Essex.

The 25-year-old lorry driver, from Northern Ireland, has been arrested on suspicion of murder after the grisly discovery in an industrial park in Grays at 1.40 am.

It is understood the lorry was from Bulgaria and entered the UK in Holyhead, Wales, on Saturday – suggesting it originally came over on a ferry from Ireland.

The lorry would then have driven through England before ending up at the industrial estate in Essex in the early hours of the morning.

Cops have now launched one of the biggest murder probes in the history of the UK, as reported by The Sun.
