Among the dead were three boys of 10, 8 and three and a six-month-old baby girl.
The victims included eight women and four children – the youngest a girl between one and two years old and three boys aged eight to ten 

Horrific details have begun to emerge about the deaths of 71 people thought to be refugee in a lorry abandoned in Austria on Thursday August 27,2015


Police said that blood was seen dripping from the vehicle and a horrendous smell surrounded it, before scores of badly decomposed bodies were discovered inside.
Helmut Marban, press officer for Burgenland police, said a highway patrol had spotted the truck and at first thought it was damaged or had been in an accident.

Officials found the back door of the truck ajar and inside made the horrifying discovery

Although the lorry bears the logo of Slovakian poultry company, Hyza, the firm said it no longer owned the vehicle but the owner had not removed the branding.
The truck was previously owned by a chicken meat firm. On one side of the truck was the slogan, written in Slovak, "Honest chicken," while writing on the back read "I taste so good because they feed me so well."
