Police have released images of a suspect after human remains were found in two suitcases left by Clifton Suspension Bridge in Bristol.

Police were called to the landmark bridge following reports of a man with a suitcase acting suspiciously on Wednesday (11 July), just before midnight.

Officers arrived at the scene less than 10 minutes before the man had left.

A total of two suitcases have been found and police are looking for this man:

Avon and Somerset police said: “Officers arrived at the bridge within 10 minutes, but the man had already left the area, leaving the suitcase behind.

"A second suitcase was located nearby a short time later. Sadly, it's believed the suitcases contain human remains."

Acting Bristol Commander Vicks Hayward-Melen said: “An immediate search of the area was carried out by officers on the ground with the support of the National Police Air Service and HM Coastguard following the discovery of the suitcases.

“These searches remain ongoing.

“Initial inquiries have established the man was taken to the bridge in a taxi.

“This vehicle has been seized and the driver is helping us with our inquiries.

“Specialist crime scene investigators are currently examining the bridge and surrounding area, and the bridge will remain closed while these inquiries are conducted.”

Police added: "There is currently an increased police presence in the area and anyone who has concerns is encouraged to speak to an officer.

"If you have any information which could help our investigation, please call 101 and quote reference 5224180010.”
