Vietnam: Last of 39 Essex trafficking victims repatriated to hometown Subscribe to our channel! rupt.ly/subscribe

The remains of 19-year old Bui Thi Nhung, one of the 39 people found dead inside a container truck in the UK last month, arrived in her hometown of Do Thanh, on Saturday.

The coffin was transported by an ambulance after it landed at Hanoi airport in the morning, and was followed by a procession to Nhung's house. Footage shows the girl's relatives weeping next to her casket, with people visiting and bringing incense.

The coffin carrying Nhung's body is among the second and last repatriation of victims from the UK.

The 39 bodies, all of whom were Vietnamese nationals and are believed to have been illegal migrant workers, were found in a refrigerated lorry in Essex on October 23. On Monday, 25-year-old lorry driver Maurice Robinson pleaded guilty to conspiring to assist illegal immigration.
