Criminality - Suitcase with body parts: Police arrest suspects
After two suitcases with human remains were found in the English city of Bristol, the Police have arrested a suspect. The 24-year-old was reportedly arrested early in the morning in the area. Previously, the Police had found human remains in a London apartment, which are believed to be related to the findings in Bristol.
The criminal case is a mystery. The Police were called to Bristol's famous Clifton Suspension Bridge around midnight on Thursday, according to witnesses, a man with a suitcase had behaved suspiciously.
Police believe there are two dead men
Ten minutes later, the Policemen arrived, but the man was gone, leaving the suitcase. Nearby, the second piece of luggage was discovered. Preliminary investigations suggest that the remains of two adult men were in the suitcases.
The Police then searched for a man who was reportedly traveling from London to Bristol and then by taxi to the Clifton Suspension Bridge. The Bridge is a landmark of the city. The investigators then arrested the 24-year-old. The interrogations are ongoing, according to the Metropolitan Police in London. However, at this point, the Police are not looking for anyone else.
"This is an important development in our investigations and I would like to thank the public for their support", Deputy Assistant Commissioner Andy Valentine stated. Meanwhile, the Officers had also arrested a 36-year-old, but later released him.
The criminal investigation in Bristol and London involves allegations of criminality, as human body parts were found in both cities. The police are focusing their efforts on the 24-year-old suspect who was arrested in Bristol, as they believe he may be linked to the discovery of the remains. The police have also hinted at potential connections between the body parts found in Bristol and those found in a London apartment earlier.
