Three Afghan migrants found dumped by the side of a motorway near Parga in Epirus on February 7 appeared to have suffocated, leading police to believe the men died while being transported in a lorry carrying cottonseed. Police said the bodies of the men were wrapped in blankets, suggesting others had attempted to handle the bodies in accordance with Islamic practice. The bodies were discovered and reported to police by a passing motorist.
