Two suitcases found on Clifton Suspension Bridge in Bristol contained human remains of two men, according to the police. The post-mortem examination of one victim was inconclusive, while the other is still ongoing. The authorities have not officially identified the victims yet. It is suspected that the remains belonged to two men. A suspect, who traveled from London to Bristol before the remains were discovered, is being sought by the Scotland Yard.
The crime scene is currently located in Shepherd’s Bush, West London, where a helicopter was seen circling above Scott’s Road. Residents in the area reported hearing police cars and a commotion in the early hours of the morning. Property near a large housing estate in Shepherd’s Bush is being searched by the police, who have been on the scene since the discovery of the remains in Bristol. The situation has left residents feeling unsettled and fearful of what might have taken place so close to their homes.
Avon and Somerset Police released a photo of the suspect, described as a black man with a beard, wearing a black Adidas baseball cap, black jeans, a black jacket, and black trainers with white soles. He was also carrying a black backpack and had a gold earring in. Anyone who spots him is advised to contact emergency services immediately. Despite his description, there is no information suggesting he remains in the Avon and Somerset area. The police received reports of a man with a suspicious suitcase on Clifton Suspension Bridge before midnight on Wednesday.
Following the incident, Acting Bristol Commander Vicks Hayward-Melen revealed that the suspect allegedly took a taxi to where the suitcases were left. The driver is cooperating with the authorities, and the taxi has been confiscated for further investigation. Despite a rapid police response to the scene within 10 minutes, the suspect had already disappeared, abandoning the suitcases containing human remains. Witness reports indicate that the man was confronted after blood was seen leaking from one of the suitcases.
Deputy Assistant Commissioner Andy Valentine, leading the investigation for the Metropolitan Police, stated that close cooperation with Avon and Somerset authorities led them to believe that the suspect traveled from London to Bristol the evening before the discovery. The Metropolitan Police have now taken charge of the investigation and are urging the public to come forward with any information they might have.
The discovery of human remains in suitcases on Clifton Suspension Bridge has sparked a complex investigation involving multiple law enforcement agencies. While the identity of the victims remains unknown, the search for the suspect continues, with the hope that justice will be served for the individuals whose lives were tragically ended.
