LONDON: UK police on Saturday arrested a man after two suitcases, believed to contain the remains of two men, were dumped on a famous bridge.

The suitcases were discovered on Wednesday after police got a report of a man behaving suspiciously on the Clifton Suspension Bridge in Bristol, southwest England.

“Detectives have arrested a man in connection with an investigation into the discovery of human remains on Clifton Suspension Bridge,” said Metropolitan Police. The 24-year-old suspect was detained at a major train station in Bristol and will be taken to London for questioning later on Saturday.

“Police are not looking for anyone else in connection with the incident,” they said.
