The truck driver arrested after 39 people died in a lorry's refrigerated trailer is a Northern Irishman who calls the vehicle he drives 'the polar express'.
Mo Robinson, 25, is at the centre of one of Britain's biggest ever murder investigations after an ambulance crew discovered the bodies in the trailer of a lorry he was driving in Essex last night.
Robinson, who is from a small village near Portadown, Northern Ireland, regularly posts about the Bulgarian-registered Scania truck on his Instagram and Facebook pages, referring to it as 'the Scandinavian Express' and 'the Polar Express'.
Reports in Ireland suggest he may have driven to the UK over the weekend just in the lorry's cab. Irish police believe he may then have picked up the container at the Essex port of Purfleet.
