Two suitcases containing ‘human remains’ found on famous Bristol bridge

Two suitcases thought to contain human remains were found at Clifton Suspension Bridge in Bristol

A manhunt has been launched after two suitcases containing suspected human remains were found at the Clifton Suspension Bridge in Bristol.

Police were called to reports of a man with a suitcase acting suspiciously on the famous bridge just before midnight on Wednesday, but when officers arrived less than ten minutes later the man had left leaving the suitcase behind.

A second suitcase was found nearby a short time later.

Avon and Somerset Police said their “immediate priority” was to locate the man and identify the human remains.
