Police have stated that they believe the human remains discovered in two luggage on Bristol's Clifton Suspension Bridge to be those of two adult men.

The victims' official identities are still unknown. The Metropolitan Police stated that the first post-mortem was "inconclusive" and the second is still un progress.

Acting Bristol Commander Vicks Hayward-Melen stated that Scotland Yard has now taken over the investigation, including the effort to locate the culprit.

There's a crime scene set up in Shepherds Bush, west London.

Avon and Somerset Police have issued a picture of the suspect, but they haven't revealed his identity.

He was described as black with a beard, wearing a black Adidas baseball cap, black jeans, a black jacket and black trainers with thick white soles. He also had a black backpack and was wearing a gold earring.

If anyone sees him, they are advised to call 999 immediately.

Deputy Assistant Commissioner Andy Valentine, who is leading the investigation for the Met, said: "Over the last 48 hours we have been working extremely closely with colleagues from Avon and Somerset. This work leads us to believe the man we need to speak to travelled to Bristol from London earlier on Wednesday evening (10 July)."

Police said on Thursday the suspect had set off in the direction of Leigh Woods after abandoning the suitcases.

Officers received reports just before midnight on Wednesday evening of a man acting suspiciously near the bridge.
