Greenwich and Shepherd’s Bush aren’t very close. I wonder how they’ve managed to arrest someone outside of Shepherd’s Bush in connection with this, what sort of evidence could they have found linking to him?

I'm guessing they've followed the journey these cases took pretty thoroughly through CCTV.

MOO

Yeah maybe it was the male in the photo, the cab driver and a random female passer by?

The witness stated that the black guy at the pub didn't have a beard and was dressed differently.

In my opinion the pictured man was only involved in the final part and a taxi was used to make it difficult to track backwards.
I wonder if the football semi final had any bearing on the evening this happened.

I suspect the police have put the pieces together very quickly and pretty much know what has occurred here.

Definitely sounds like human remains have been found at the house, could be a third victim maybe?

A private ambulance arrived at the scene in Shepherd's Bush at 6.30pm, according to PA new agency.


Does a private ambulance arriving indicate that some human remains were found at the house in Shepherd's Bush?

I think that would be the inference. Are they the rest of the bodies of the men found at Bristol, or are there more victims?

If there was another victim found would that not have been reported in the media?

Man arrested in London in connection with human remains found in suitcases by Bristol's Clifton Suspension Bridge

The arrest is not the same man being sought by police after the release of a photograph on Thursday.

Arrest made.

Yeah agree. It's probably a body part or other bits left behind imo.

He mentioned a boot being open on the other side of the road so I would guess a car was involved in the move from London to Bristol rather than just public transport. I would also guess that the pictured man was on the scene but just wasn’t seen by the witness.

Yeah, he may not have travelled with the cases, he could have intercepted them.

<modsnip> the guy in the pic, I wonder why the Police have not released his name yet?
Or have they and I've missed it?

If you're talking about the guy in the pic, I wonder why the Police have not released his name yet?

I don't think any names have been released at all.

Private ambulance in Shepherd's Bush, plus no further appeals for info, makes me wonder if the perp might have took his own life (JMO, just a wild speculation).

That's a good theory

 

[Elley Mae]

His shoes should give him away.

 

[Twittens]

If it’s not too crazy a suggestion, I’m wondering if he got the wrong bridge? And he had intended to throw the suitcases over the side of either of the Severn Bridges which goes across the much wider Severn estuary?
Instead he’s ended up at the Clifton which has greater name recognition?!

Hammersmith Bridge is the one I'd have aimed for tbf.

Makes you wonder if concealment/disposal was not the goal really. Clifton Suspension Bridge and then doing a runner is more like a full page ad in the Times.

jmoo

It would make sense, if the perp had taken their own life, that Police have not released a name yet.

Usually after a pic of a wanted has gone out Police normally release a name as soon as they know imo.

They don't want to tell the suspect how much they know about him. Perhaps other arrests are also planned.

 

[CaptainNancy]

Presumably they have been gathering as much evidence as fast as possible: checking the phone logs of whoever called the taxi, using the witnesses’ account to look for CCTV that might give the reg of the car that the cases were bring unloaded from, maybe other undisclosed evidence. They will presumably highlight platform-trainer guy because that is the evidence where public knowledge can help, but keep everything else out of the public eye.

For all we know, this shambolic crew may have left their luggage labels from their last trip on the cases.

Meanwhile I am fascinated that here in the UK we are being urged not to approach the suspect. Yeah right: who exactly would approach a butchering double murderer ?
