Man (24) arrested
Suitcases with body parts left near bridge
Police have arrested a suspect following the discovery of two suitcases containing human remains near a bridge in the UK. The victims have not yet been identified.
The 24-year-old man was arrested in Bristol and is now being taken to London for questioning, the police announced on Saturday. No other suspects are being sought.
The police in Bristol were alerted late on Wednesday evening because a man was behaving suspiciously on the famous Clifton Suspension Bridge in the city in south-west England.
Suitcase with body parts
When the police arrived, the man had already fled. However, investigators discovered the two suitcases containing human remains. The victims have not yet been identified, but the police assume that they are the remains of two adult men.
London police have taken over the investigation into the case because there are indications that the suspect had previously traveled to Bristol from the British capital. Opened in 1864, the Clifton Suspension Bridge over the River Avon is one of Bristol's most famous landmarks and a symbol of the city.
More pieces in London apartment
In the meantime, officers arrested a 36-year-old man in connection with the incident, but later released him. It was reported that this was not the 24-year-old man for whom investigators had been searching since Thursday with a public appeal.
However, during searches of an apartment in London, the police recently found further body parts. These could be connected to the finds in Bristol.
