A man has been arrested on suspicion of murder after human remains were discovered in suitcases on the Clifton Suspension Bridge in Bristol. The 34-year-old suspect was detained by armed officers from Avon and Somerset Police at Temple Meads Station in Bristol during the early hours of Saturday. The remains found in the luggage and in a flat in Shepherd's Bush, west London, belong to two men, according to police reports. Investigators, dressed in blue forensic suits, masks, and gloves, are continuing their work at the crime scene, which is located outside a property on Scott's Road. The police have extended the crime scene by 33 feet. Human remains were discovered at a property in Shepherd's Bush. Police and forensic teams were seen working outside a house being searched in Shepherd's Bush, near a set of bins outside an estate just off Scott's Road, with one officer taking photographs of the area. Three police vehicles were used to block the view from beyond the cordon. The Met's deputy assistant commissioner Andy Valentine described the arrest as '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. ' The Met Police had previously issued a statement indicating they wanted to speak to a Yostin Andres Mosquera. Police are not looking for anyone else, and the man arrested at Temple Meads Station is being taken to London for questioning. Just before midnight on Wednesday, Avon and Somerset Police received a report of a man with a suitcase acting suspiciously on the Clifton Suspension Bridge. Officers arrived within 10 minutes, but the man had left, leaving the cases behind. A second suitcase was found nearby. The Metropolitan Police took over the investigation after body parts were found in the flat in west London. Police have stated that formal identification of the two victims has yet to take place. A 36-year-old man who was arrested in Greenwich in south-east London on Friday in connection with the investigation has since been released without charge. In Bristol, some locals have expressed their shock to the BBC. Gemma Osborne, the manager of Hart's bakery, which is near the city's Temple Meads Station, said it feels 'very close to home. ' 'It’s always a concern being with our start times being so early that everyone is safe on the way to work,' she said. 'It’s made me feel quite spooked. It’s very rare, so we shouldn’t let it creep us out but it definitely makes you think.
