An Irish haulier is due before the UK Central Criminal Court today in connection with the deaths of 39 Vietnamese migrants found in the back of a lorry.
40-year-old Ronan Hughes was arrested in Monaghan in April on foot of a European Arrest Warrant and extradited from Ireland to the UK last month, following the discovery in Essex last October.
He's been held in custody, charged with manslaughter.
