MANHUNT; MORE Remains Found-Police Arrest Colombian in Suitcases Murders
Police Find MORE Human Remains in London as Detectives Name Suspect as 24yr Old Colombian National
Armed police arrest man, 24, in Bristol as they investigate deaths of two men whose bodies were found in suitcases at Clifton Suspension Bridge
MailOnline 13 JUL 2024
Police probing body parts found in a suitcase on Clifton Suspension Bridge last night found more human remains at a flat in London, as detectives formally named the suspect for the first time.
Scotland Yard confirmed Colombian national Yostin Andres Mosquera, 24, is the man they arrested. It is not known when he first came to the UK.

Yesterday, attention turned away from Bristol, where the remains of two men were first uncovered, and towards a flat in Shepherd's Bush, west London.
Police were seen at the property in Scotts Road for several hours, before the Met revealed that more remains had been found, believed to be of the same two victims.
Mosquera, who is a keen rugby fan according to posts on social media, is understood to have known both victims, detectives said. Pictures of the 24-year-old show him eating fish and chips at the Crown and Anchor pub in Chiswick and lounging on the edge of a boat in a holiday destination.
A 36-year-old man arrested earlier in the night has since been released without charge.
Deputy Assistant Commissioner Andy Valentine said: 'This is a fast moving enquiry with detectives in London and Bristol actively pursuing a number of lines of enquiry.
'Locating Yostin Andres Mosquera, however, is the priority and I appeal to anyone with information on his whereabouts to get in touch.'
Officers believe they know the identity of the two men who died, although formal identification is yet to take place.
Detectives were seen searching a flat in Shepherd's Bush as it is believed the men were murdered and dismembered in the West London suburb, with the Metropolitan Police taking over the investigation.
A helicopter was circling above the crime scene on Friday afternoon, as four police officers guarded tape which cordoned off an area of bins below a high-rise building.
A Met Police spokesperson said: 'Over the last 48 hours, we have been working closely with our colleagues from Avon and Somerset Police.
'Their enquiries established that the man they are seeking in connection with the discovery of human remains may have travelled to Bristol from London. 'As a result, the Met is now leading the investigation and the search to find the man wanted in connection with this incident.
'We are drawing on resources from across the Met to arrest this individual, with detectives working at pace.'
