A team of Chinese police officers is to help identify the bodies of 20 migrants who drowned gathering cockles on a British beach.
At least 17 men and three women died in the icy waters of Morecambe Bay on February 5th when they were caught by the tide.
A police spokeswoman said: "We think we know the names of 12 people, but there has been no formal identification."
Police said earlier that as many as 24 people may have died on the mudflats.
A date has not yet been fixed for the arrival of the five-strong Chinese police team.
