The father of one of the 39 Vietnamese migrants who suffocated in a truck in Britain said Tuesday he felt sorry for the two men convicted of manslaughter over the deaths.
The bodies of the men and women were found inside a sealed container near London in October 2019, after they suffocated in sweltering temperatures.
Lorry driver Eamonn Harrison, 24, from Northern Ireland, and Romanian national Gheorghe Nica, 43, were found guilty of 39 counts of manslaughter, as well as people smuggling, by a London court on Monday.
They are expected to be sentenced early in January and could face a maximum sentence of life imprisonment.
