No suggestion he/she is in any way implicated

A manhunt has been launched after two suitcases containing human remains were found at the Clifton Suspension Bridge in Bristol.

Police were called after a man with a suitcase was seen acting suspiciously on the bridge just before midnight on Wednesday. When officers arrived less than ten minutes later the man had left, leaving the suitcase behind.

A second suitcase was found nearby a short time later.

Avon and Somerset Police said their "immediate priority" was to locate the man and identify the human remains.

Initial inquiries established the man was taken to the bridge in a taxi, the force said.

The taxi driver's vehicle has been seized and the driver is helping officers.

A white forensic tent can be seen behind the pillars of the bridge

The roads on both sides of the bridge have been closed

The roads around the bridge, as well as surrounding footpaths, remain closed while investigators examine the area. They are expected to be closed all day.

The police helicopter was tracked over the bridge on Wednesday night.

Police officers manning the Bristol side of the Suspension Bridge are turning pedestrians away from the scene.

The visitors centre has also been shut to allow the police investigation to continue.

Police are expected to issue further information this afternoon at a press conference.

loads more but nothing about the trade angle
