British police announced on Saturday the arrest of a 24-year-old man linked to the deaths of two individuals whose remains were discovered in two suitcases in southwest England. Armed officers detained the suspect at a Bristol train station early that morning.

Additional human remains were found the previous day at an address in Shepherd's Bush, west London, and are believed to be connected to those found near the Clifton Suspension Bridge in Bristol on Wednesday. The suspect will be transported to London for questioning.

Authorities stated that extensive inquiries are ongoing, though they are not currently seeking anyone else in connection with the case. Initial autopsy results are inconclusive, while a second post-mortem examination is still underway. The victims have not yet been formally identified but are believed to be adults.
