Manslaughter arrest in mill-deaths probe

Uoc Van Nguyen, 31, Cuong Van Chu, 39, Duong Van Nguyen, 29 and 21-year-old Nam Thanh Lee died after a blaze broke out at the Bismark House mill on Bower Street in Oldham on May 7 last year. It wasn't until demolition work began on the site that workers uncovered human remains on July 23.

Police believe they are likely to have been victims of modern-day slavery. Officers also found evidence part of the mill was being used as a cannabis farm.
