25日凌晨,中国驻英国大使馆发布的最新消息显示,英国警方表示尚无法确定日前在埃塞克斯郡货车内发现的39位遇难者是中国国籍

记者问:关于英国埃塞克斯郡发现39人死亡的事件,中方能否确定死者身份是中国国籍?

答:中国驻英国使馆已派负责领事事务的公参抵达埃塞克斯郡,并与英国当地警方取得了联系。英国警方表示正在核实遇难者身份,尚无法确定遇难者是中国国籍。

  • The Chinese Embassy has sent a team led by the minister-counsellor in charge of consular affairs to Essex, England. They have met with the local police. The police said that they are verifying the identity of the deceased, whose nationality still cannot be confirmed.

无论这39名遇难者是否为中国人,他们的悲惨遭遇都让人揪心不已。

面对全世界人民的关心,英国警方的官方声明中到底公布了哪些案件细节?报报为大家整理出以下重点:

►Of these, 38 are believed to be adults, and one is a young adult woman. We previously reported that she may have been a teenager. 

遇难者中,38名是成年人,还有1名是年轻的成年女性。我们之前曾通报称她可能是一个青少年。

►We have since confirmed that eight of the deceased are women and 31 are men and all are believed to be Chinese nationals. 

我们已经确认死者中有8名是女性,31名是男性,据信所有人都是中国公民。(该声明于当地时间24日上午发布,与晚间英国警方的回复不一致)

►We arrested a man on suspicion of murder, who remains in custody.

我们已经逮捕了一名涉嫌谋杀的男性,该人目前仍被拘留。

嫌疑人为货车司机Mo Robinson,25岁,来自英国北爱尔兰。警方正在对其加紧问询。

据英国《卫报》报道,警方已经将嫌疑人的父母从北爱尔兰请至英格兰的警局,与嫌疑人见面。

警方还梳理出了一份事件时间表。信息显示,货车的车头和车厢是分开入境的

10月20日

The tractor unit of the lorry had entered the country via Holyhead on Sunday 20 October, having travelled over from Dublin.

货车的牵引车头途径都柏林,于10月20日通过威尔士地区的霍利黑德进入英国。

10月23日00:30

The lorry then collected the trailer, which had travelled from Zeebrugge, at the port of Purfleet at around 12:30am on the 23 October. The cab and trailer left the port shortly after 1.05am.

接着,牵引车于10月23日凌晨00:30左右在英国Purfleet港口挂上了拖车,这辆拖车来自比利时西北部港市泽布吕赫。牵引车与拖车一起,刚过1:05便一起离开港口。

10月23日1:40

We were called to Waterglade Industrial Park in Eastern Avenue shortly before 1.40am on Wednesday 23 October by our colleagues in the East of England Ambulance Service to reports that 39 people had been found dead in the trailer of a lorry.

10月23日凌晨1:40,我们被英格兰东部救护车服务中心的同事呼叫至埃塞克斯东大街上的Waterglade工业园,我们接到报告称在一辆货车的拖车中发现39人死亡。

由于事件涉及的地点众多,警方消息一出,各方也纷纷给出回应: 

中国驻英国大使馆

  • We read with heavy heart the reports about the death of 39 people in Essex, England. We are in close contact with the British police to seek clarification and confirmation of the relevant reports.

  • 我们以沉重的心情看到英国媒体关于埃塞克斯郡发现39人死亡的报道,正与英国警方联系,核实确认相关情况。

英国首相鲍里斯·约翰逊

  • I'm appalled by this tragic incident in Essex. I am receiving regular updates and the Home Office will work closely with Essex Police as we establish exactly what has happened. My thoughts are with all those who lost their lives & their loved ones.

  • 我对埃塞克斯发生的悲惨事件感到震惊。我正在密切关注事件进展,内政部将与埃塞克斯警方紧密合作,以便确认究竟发生了什么。我的心与所有受害者及他们所爱的人同在。

英国国家犯罪调查局称,正在努力确认“可能参与其中的有组织的犯罪集团”。

  • Officers in Northern Ireland have raided two houses and the National Crime Agency said it was working to identify "organised crime groups who may have played a part”.

  • 北爱尔兰的官员突击检查了当地两所房屋,英国国家犯罪调查局称,正在努力确认“可能参与其中的有组织的犯罪集团”。

  • The Belgian Federal Public Prosecutor's Office said it had opened a case which would focus on the organisers and others involved in the transport.

  • 比利时联邦检察院办公室表示他们已经成立专案,调查涉及此次运输的组织者和其他人。

  • It was not clear when the victims were placed in the container or if this happened in Belgium, a spokesman said.

  • 一位发言人说,目前尚不确定受害者们是什么时候进入集装箱的,也不确定这是否发生在比利时。

  • A spokesman for the Bulgarian foreign affairs ministry said the truck was registered in the country under the name of a company owned by an Irish citizen.

  • 保加利亚外交部发言人表示这辆卡车系一爱尔兰公民以公司名义在该国注册。

  • The force earlier suggested the lorry could be from Bulgaria, but later said officers believed it entered the UK from Belgium.

  • 警方早些时候认为货车可能来自保加利亚,但之后则表示认为它是从比利时进入英国的。

  • Richard Burnett, chief executive of the Road Haulage Association, said temperatures in refrigerated trailers could be as low as -25C.

  • 英国公路运输协会首席执行官Richard Burnett说冷藏拖车的温度可能低至零下25摄氏度

  • He described conditions for anyone inside as "absolutely horrendous”.

  • 他描述道,这种温度对于在车厢内的任何人来说都是“极度可怕的”

为了接受进一步调查,警方已将这辆货车驶离了报案地点,沿途的警察和民众,在看到这辆货车时纷纷低头表示默哀

事发地附近也有居民摆上了花束,以表达对逝者的哀思。

事发当地瑟洛克(Thurrock)区地方议会为此次遇难的39名死者准备了一本悼念签名簿。当地警察、议员和民众们纷纷前来签名留言,为逝者哀悼。

据@环球时报报道,39名遇难者的遇难地点,英国埃塞克斯郡格雷斯市地方政府Thurrock Council已降半旗志哀。

目前案件仍在进一步调查中,埃塞克斯警方的声明或许能够代表许多人的心声:

  • Our number one priority is preserving the dignity of the 39 people who have died and ensuring that we get answers for their loved ones.

  • 我们首先要做的是维护39名遇难者的尊严,同时确保为他们所爱的人找到答案。
