An Irish haulier has been remanded in custody after appearing in court in England charged with the manslaughter of 39 Vietnamese migrants found in the back of a lorry.

40 year-old Ronan Hughes from Leitrim in Tyholland, Co. Monaghan was extradited to the UK from Ireland following the discovery in Essex last October.

No application for bail was made - he's due at the Old Bailey next month for a plea hearing.

He was arrested in Monaghan in April on foot of a European Arrest Warrant.

He was extradited from Ireland yesterday after the High Court approved the move earlier this month.

The bodies of the 39 people were found in a lorry container in an industrial park in Essex last October.
