Essex lorry deaths: Caolan Gormley guilty of trafficking offence
By Lewis Adams and Jeremy BrittonBBC News, Essex
A haulier has been convicted for his part in a people smuggling operation that killed 39 Vietnamese migrants.
Caolan Gormley, 26, was found guilty of conspiracy to assist unlawful immigration at the Old Bailey.
The bodies were found in a lorry trailer near Purfleet, Essex, on 23 October 2019.
The Jury heard Gormley, of Caledon, Co Tyrone, had " close dealings" with The Traffickers overseeing the fatal trip.
He is the 11th defendant to be convicted in connection with the deaths and he is due to be sentenced on Friday.
The haulier claimed during his two-week trial that he believed he was only involved in smuggling illegal alcohol into the UK.
But The Court heard Gormley was an associate of one of the smuggling ringleaders, Ronan Hughes , who he had known since he was a teenager.
Hughes and a Romanian national, Gheorghe Nica, had a network of drivers who were from Europe into the UK, The Prosecution said.
Gormley, who ran a small haulage business, passed on messages from Hughes to one of his own drivers, Christopher Kennedy , who was involved in transporting the trailers full of migrants.
On 23 October, the trailer had been collected by a different driver, Maurice Robinson, who discovered the bodies.
" Realising The Migrants were dead he contacted not The Police , but Hughes, " said prosecutor Ben Holt.
Giving evidence in his defence, Gormley told jurors he was in " shock" and " total disbelief" when he heard The Victims were dead.
The Jury deliberated for One Hour and 15 Minutes and Gormley was remanded in custody.
