- Story Text: Four men went on trial in Hungary on Wednesday (June 21) charged with murdering 71 refugees found suffocated to death in the back of a lorry at the height of Europe's migrant crisis in 2015.
The refugees from Syria, Iraq and Afghanistan - 59 men, eight women and four children - were found crammed into the small, unventilated vehicle, abandoned on the side of a motorway in Hungary's neighbour, Austria.
The four defendants, and seven other men, are also charged with trafficking other migrants over several months. - Copyright Holder: REUTERS
