A man has been arrested after the discovery of human remains in suitcases at Clifton Suspension Bridge in Bristol.

The 24-year-old was detained by Avon and Somerset armed officers at Temple Meads Station in Bristol in the early hours of Saturday and was taken into custody.

The remains found in the luggage and in a flat in Shepherd’s Bush, west London, belong to two men, police have said.

The Met’s deputy assistant commissioner Andy Valentine said the arrest is a “a significant development”.

“We understand the concerns of local communities in both Bristol and London and officers will remain in the Clifton and Shepherd’s Bush areas over the coming days to reassure those affected by this tragic incident,” he added.

“Anyone with any concerns is encouraged to speak with them.”

Police are not looking for anyone else.
