Austria: Gruesome discovery of rotting refugees in lorry

AUSTRIAN police discovered the decomposing bodies of at least 20 refugees yesterday in an abandoned lorry.

The shocking find came as Austria hosted a summit in Vienna on Europe’s refugee crisis for western Balkan nations, which have been overwhelmed this year by the tens of thousands of refugees fleeing wars in north Africa and the Middle East.

Police spokesman Helmut Marban said police attended the lorry thinking that it had some mechanical trouble.

Then the officers “saw blood dripping” and “noticed the smell of dead bodies,” he said.

At the summit German Chancellor Angela Merkel said she was “shaken by the awful news” of the discovery.
