法国里尔——官员们于10月3日表示，一名男子被发现中枪身亡，尸体位于一辆停放在法国北部高速公路休息区的英国工匠货车内，该车当时载有非法移民。
LILLE, France - A man has been found shot dead in a UK tradesman’s van carrying irregular migrants parked in a rest stop along a northern French motorway, officials said on Oct 3.
据当地检察官办公室称，这辆车于10月2日在特鲁瓦市以北约30公里处被发现，特鲁瓦位于巴黎东南方向，距离英吉利海峡约300公里。
The vehicle was found on Oct 2, around 30km north of the city of Troyes, which is located south-east of Paris and around 300km from the Channel, according to the local prosecutor’s office.
特鲁瓦检察官伊莎贝尔·韦里西莫表示，一名“据信曾出现在犯罪现场”的嫌疑人已于10月2日凌晨被捕。
A suspect “believed to have been present at the crime scene” was arrested early on Oct 2, Troyes’ prosecutor, Isabelle Verissimo, said.
她说，这名47岁男子的尸体于凌晨5点左右在货车内一个座位上被发现，“头部中枪”，该车悬挂英国牌照。
The body of the 47-year-old man was discovered around 5am with “a gunshot wound to his head” on a seat inside the van, which had UK licence plates, she said.
她补充说，警方在车内发现“约10名非法滞留在法国领土的外国人”，但没有透露他们的国籍，也没有透露死者的国籍。
Inside the vehicle police found “around 10 foreign nationals who were irregularly on French territory”, she added, without giving their nationalities nor that of the deceased man.
根据检察官的声明，初步调查显示，当这辆英国货车停在Champ l'Epee休息区时，有人开枪，随后数人逃离现场。案件由案发地以北的兰斯执法办公室负责调查。
An initial investigation suggested shots were fired in the Champ l’Epee rest stop as the UK van stopped to park there, and several people then fled the scene, according to the prosecutor’s statement. The law enforcement office in Reims, north of where the crime happened, was in charge of the investigation.
特鲁瓦检察官办公室表示，将于10月3日以“谋杀、谋杀未遂、未经授权持有武器、协助有组织团体非法入境、流动和居留法国，以及有组织团体人口贩运”的罪名立案。
The Troyes prosecutor’s office said a criminal case would be opened on Oct 3 for “murder, attempted murder, unauthorised possession of a weapon, aiding the irregular entry, the movement and the residence of a foreigner in France as part of an organised group, and human trafficking as part of an organised group”.
