Two men from County Londonderry in Northern Ireland have been charged with people smuggling after an immigrant was found dead in a shipping container at Tilbury Docks.
Essex Police said Stephen McLaughlin, 34, from Limavady, and Timothy Murphy, 33, from Derry, have been charged with conspiring to facilitate illegal entry into the UK.
Murphy was charged with conspiring with McLaughlin between August 1 and 17 "and together with other persons unknown to do an act, namely clandestinely convey 35 Afghan nationals by sea in to an English port, which facilitated the commission of a breach of immigration law".
It followed the discovery of 35 people in a container at the Port of Tilbury, south Essex, on August 16.
Meet Singh Kapoor, 40, from Afghanistan, was found dead inside the airtight container on a ship that had arrived from Zeebrugge in Belgium.
Murphy appeared at Chelmsford Magistrates' Court in Essex where he spoke only to confirm his name and personal details.
He was remanded in custody and told he must go to Basildon Crown Court for a plea and case management hearing on a date to be set during the week beginning November 17.
McLaughlin was also due to appear in court.
A post-mortem examination on Mr Kapoor had failed to establish the cause of his death and inquiries are continuing.
The rest of the group of Afghan Sikhs from Kabul, which included 13 children, survived the ordeal.
They are believed to have fled Afghanistan after suffering persecution and are in the process of claiming asylum in the UK.
