British police: Human remains found in two suitcases in southwest England belong to two men

The victims have not yet been officially identified, but both are believed to be adults. An autopsy was deemed “inconclusive” while a second autopsy is pending.

A crime scene has been set up in the west London borough of Shepherd’s Bush, with police urging the public to call emergency services if they see the suspect.

“Do not approach him,” said Deputy Chief Constable Andy Valentine, who is leading the investigation for the Met.

Officers from Avon and Somerset Police arrived at the famous Clifton Suspension Bridge around midnight on Wednesday, ten minutes after receiving reports of a man behaving strangely, but the man who had taken the taxi there had already disappeared.

The famous bridge spans the Avon Gorge and was designed by the famous Victorian engineer Isambard Kingdom Brunel. It opened in 1864.

“We recognise that this has caused significant concern among residents in the Clifton area and will also cause concern among people living and working in west London,” Valentine said. “Extra officers will be patrolling the area over the coming days and I would encourage anyone who has concerns to speak to them.”
