3 NRIs found dead in storage container

LONDON: Three NRI building workers, hailing from Punjab, were found dead in a storage container on a building site near Reading, about 65 km from here, the police said on Thursday.

The building workers were identified as Kirpal Singh (30), his cousin Manjit Singh (35), and Gurdeep Singh Deol (21), all residents of Southall, West London.

According to initial police findings, they died of carbon monoxide poisoning. They were all residents of the United Kingdom.

Ambulance workers found the men last Friday. The police said the men might have used a generator in the container to keep themselves warm. — PTI
