Two men's bodies found in suitcases on a UK bridge; the 24-year-old was arrested
Police received a report of a guy acting strangely on Bristol's Clifton Suspension Bridge, and on Wednesday they found the suitcases.
London: Two suitcases said to contain the remains of two men were abandoned on a well-known bridge, prompting UK police to arrest a man on Saturday.
Following a report of a man acting strangely on the Clifton Suspension Bridge in Bristol, southwest England, police found the suitcases on Wednesday.
"Detectives have arrested a man in connection with an investigation into the discovery of human remains on Clifton Suspension Bridge," stated the Metropolitan Police.
The suspect, 24, was taken into custody in Bristol and is scheduled to be questioned later on Saturday in London.
"Police are not looking for anyone else in connection with the incident," they stated.
Although the victims' names have not been officially released, the Metropolitan Police indicated that both are thought to be men.
Evidence indicated that the sought individual had left the UK city earlier on Wednesday and made his way to Bristol, so the London-based unit assumed control of the investigation.
One of the oldest suspension bridges still in existence in the world is the Clifton Suspension Bridge, which was created by the innovative engineer Isambard Kingdom Brunel.
The Avon Gorge bridge, which opened in 1864, is a popular tourist destination and a representation of Bristol.
