5th suspect in deaths of 71 migrants in jail

The fifth suspect in the deaths of 71 migrants found in a truck on the highway to Vienna last week has been placed under preliminary arrest for up to 30 days.

The court in the central Hungarian city of Kecskemet made the ruling Tuesday.

The 24-year-old Bulgarian man, along with three other Bulgarians and one Afghan already in custody, is suspected of cooperating in human trafficking.

Authorities say the migrants suffocated in the truck. Since then, both Austria and Hungary have stepped up efforts to crack down on possible smugglers.
