LONDON (AP) — British police say three suspects who were arrested in the deaths of 39 people hidden in a shipping container have been released on bail.
Police in southeastern England said Sunday that a 38-year-old man, a 38-year-old woman — both from the northern English town of Warrington— and a 45-year-old man from Northern Ireland have been released after being questioned on suspicion of manslaughter and conspiracy to traffic people.
