Official media said on Monday that Vietnamese police arrested eight people suspected of being linked to 39 deceased in a truck near London last month, all of whom were considered Vietnamese, bringing the total number of arrests in Vietnam to 10.

British police last week charged two men with manslaughter over the deaths of the group. Their bodies were found in a container of a truck on October 23.

The official news agency of Vietnam (VNA) said that based on the understanding of the suspects, they will actively carry out investigations to combat and eradicate these rings that will bring people illegally to the UK.
