• The body of an Iraqi Kurd has been found in a Spanish-registered truck in Dorset.
Two other men, also believed to be Iraqi Kurds, were arrested after police stopped the artic on the Fleetsbridge flyover around 8.40am on Sunday 17 August.
The alarm was raised when a man driving On the A3049 Dorset Way dual carriageway contacted the ambulance service and reported seeing several men of Eastern European appearance get out of the back of the blue and white 41-tonne truck.
Following a police search of the nearby area a hunt for any illegal immigrants has been scaled down, though Dorset police are still appealing for witnesses who saw the truck parked on the westbound carriageway.
Inspector Shaun Cronin of the Ferndown Road policing unit, says: "We are investigating whether there were just three alleged illegal immigrants in the lorry—which was carrying containers of paint and vehicle parts—the two who were arrested, and the one who was found dead in the truck."
The Spanish truck driver was still being questioned over motoring offences and immigration matters as CM went to press.
