Man can be extradited to face charges over 39 Vietnamese deaths says court
THE High Court in Dublin has ruled today (Friday, 12 June) that an Irishman can be extradited to the UK to face 39 charges of manslaughter and a charge of conspiracy to assist unlawful immigration in connection with the deaths of 39 migrants found in a refrigerated lorry container in West Thurrock last year.
Ronan Hughes, 40, from Silverstream, Tyholland, Co Monaghan, appeared at Dublin's Central Criminal Court for his extradition hearing following the execution of a European arrest warrant in the Irish Republic in April.
Mr Hughes said nothing during the short hearing.
