Humans remains found in suitcase in Bristol

[separatedornot]

Manhunt ongoing.

A lot of bad news in the last couple of days.

Why didn't they use wheelie suitcases? That would be easier to transport and less conspicuous?
Not to mention failing to do something about the blood.

He didn't even cover his face or wear gloves, and he got a friggin' taxi, which seems ridiculous if the taxi driver wasn't an accomplice!

The taxi detail is mental but perhaps they just hoped to intimidate the driver?

That’s true- Very unlikely as it would smell for certain on a train and alert people.
It’s a really busy line even in the evenings.

He seems to be a native Spanish speaker ?

who is this person you’re referring to? The person the police is after?

@EasterIssland The man with suitcases was shouting in Spanish as he was being chased by the cyclist.

Oh I didn’t know this. Thanks for the clarification

One anonymous eyewitness apparently heard him shouting in Spanish. Personally, I'd be very surprised if he turns out to be Spanish. I think it's far more likely it was a different language.

Yes, the fact he was speaking Spanish has been widely shared in the media and already discussed several times on this thread.

I read earlier that they said the wheels had snapped off one of the cases.

Spanish is spoken by 500 million native speakers (not including those who speak it as a second, third etc language) and is the official language of 20 countries. It could be that the Spanish was mistaken for Portuguese as there are many similarities but . Almost 8% of the world's population are Spanish speakers which means a lot of people can easily recognise when Spanish is being spoken. He could be from a Hispanic African nation like Equatorial Guinea. Or somewhere like the Dominican Republic. Or Brazil if it was indeed Portuguese.

That being said, I've often done the old trick of bursting into Spanish or French when trying to avoid getting into conversation with chuggers or salespeople or whatever. Maybe he is trying to conceal his identity. ETA seriously doubt it though with the lack of effort elsewhere.

The most obvious mode of transport from London into Bristol is the train, but imagine him making room for two heavy suitcases on a packed train
I'm surprised the ticket collector didn't spot anything.
Hopefully the victims will be identified very soon and their families informed.
Gruesome

Mega Bus? There's one from London to Bristol. You can take two medium suitcases and they get put in the hold. Maximum of 23kg though.

If the remains were body parts, and did not add up to two complete bodies, then that is a possibility.

Which rather begs the question of whether there are more finds yet to be made

I don't know how strict MB is with weighing etc but it seems it could be easier than getting a train for concealing bodies etc.

Or maybe transported by an accomplice by standard vehicle.

A witness said there was a “Smell” ( outdoors)
On public transport this would really amplify.

The smell of even a dead mouse is potent- so it’s more likely (?) the remains were transported in a taxi

Maybe police have CCTV motorway footage of the vehicle-

All motorway exits seem to be covered, plus on overhead gantries to catch speeding motorists.

Have I missed something, is there more than one suspect now? Or are you meaning the suspect and the taxi driver?

Two bodies. How on earth did he get from London to Bristol?
The trains would have been packed.

Link doesn’t work ( for me)

Oh bum……sorry!

Clifton suspension bridge: Latest updates as suitcase remains inquiry widens to London - BBC News

wrong

Link still not working,, but a google says he travelled up by train😳

But were the suitcases with him?
surely not.
Temple meads has a big gap between train and platforms, so heavy oozing suitcases would be very obvious.

They might not have been "oozing" at that stage

You and I both.

but they still need to find him,
would he have gone back to london?
