In the case of 39 Vietnamese dead in a refrigerated truck in Great Britain, a London court convicted two men of manslaughter.

The 43-year-old and the 24-year-old were also found guilty of aiding and abetting illegal immigration.

A sentence has not yet been named, they face life imprisonment.

Two other men, aged 24 and 38, were convicted of human trafficking.

Eight people in the UK have been found guilty of the case so far.

The bodies of the migrants were discovered on October 23, 2019 in a container in Grays, east of London.

Some of the young people are said to have paid human traffickers tens of thousands of euros to be smuggled into Great Britain.

In connection with the body's find, various suspects have since been arrested in France and Belgium, who are said to have helped smuggle migrants from Southeast Asia.

Suspected members of a human trafficking ring have also been arrested and convicted in Vietnam.
