Two men from County Londonderry in Northern Ireland have been charged with people smuggling after an immigrant was found dead in a shipping container at Tilbury Docks.
Essex Police said Stephen McLaughlin, 34, from Limavady, and Timothy Murphy, 34, from Derry, have been charged with conspiring to facilitate illegal entry into the UK.
A police statement said: "The men, who are both lorry drivers, have been detained in police custody to appear at Chelmsford Magistrates' Court today."
It follows the discovery of 34 people in a container at the Port of Tilbury, south Essex, on August 16.
Meet Singh Kapoor, 40, from Afghanistan, was found dead inside the airtight container on a ship that had arrived from Zeebrugge in Belgium.
The rest of the group of Afghan Sikhs from Kabul, which included 13 children, survived the ordeal.
They are believed to have fled Afghanistan after suffering persecution and are in the process of claiming asylum in the UK.
