Exclusive: Men found dead in mill fire 'likely to have been victims of modern slavery' as pictures emerge of devastating site
Four Vietnamese men whose remains were found inside a burnt out building in Oldham are likely to have been the victims of modern slavery, police have revealed.
Detective Superintendent Lewis Hughes, Senior Identification Manager and Force Lead for Disaster Victim Identification on Operation Logan, told the M.E.N that the investigation team have not received any information that suggests the men had any life outside of the building. "There are other lines of enquiry at the factory and it's safe to say we have recovered evidence that cannabis was being cultivated in part of the factory.
Officers are trekking through the rubble to ensure there are no further victims - as Supt Hughes said he couldn't rule out that anyone else was present at the time of the fire until the search operation is complete. Cuong Van Chu was one of four Vietnamese men whose partial remains were recovered. Police were able to take DNA from fragments of the married 39-year-old's right thigh, before matching it with his parents.
Uoc, from Nghe An, was the first man to be identified from the scene. An inquest into the death of the married 31-year-old, who was previously a farmer, was opened in August after specialist officers had matched his fingerprints with an immigration and asylum database.
