In a significant breakthrough in the investigation into the horrifying discovery of two suitcases containing human remains at the famous Clifton Suspension Bridge in Bristol, UK police have arrested a 34-year-old man. The arrest was made in Bristol during the early hours of Saturday as part of a joint operation between London and local police.

According to a statement by the London Metropolitan Police, the suspect will be transferred to London for questioning later today. This arrest follows the release of a 36-year-old man who was previously arrested in London on Friday in connection with the grisly find.

Deputy Assistant Commissioner Andy Valentine described the latest arrest as a "significant development" in the ongoing investigation. At this stage, the police have stated that they are not currently seeking any other individuals in connection with the incident.

The suitcases containing human remains were discovered on Wednesday at the Clifton Suspension Bridge, located approximately 100 miles (160 kilometers) west of London. Although the police believe they know the identity of the two male victims, formal identification has yet to take place. Efforts are currently being made by the authorities to locate and inform their next of kin.

Further progress in the investigation came when additional human remains were found in a West London apartment, which the police believe to be connected to the body parts discovered in Bristol.

In response to concerns from the public, police officers will be stationed in the Clifton and Shepherd's Bush areas over the next few days to provide support and reassurance to those affected by this tragic incident.

As the investigation continues, the police are urging anyone with information related to this case to come forward and assist them in their efforts to bring justice to the victims and their families.
