Detectives from Avon and Somerset Police stated in a press conference that the suspect was driven to the bridge by a taxi, and that the driver is collaborating with the officers looking into the finding. Additionally, the car has been seized.
The suspect is described as being black, bearded, and sporting thick white soles on his black trainers, black slacks, black jacket, and black Adidas baseball cap. In addition, he wore gold earrings and carried a black rucksack.
Acting Bristol Commander Vicks Hayward-Melen said that the suspect left the baggage behind and headed toward Leigh Woods.
Finding the individual who carried the suitcases to the bridge, identifying the deceased, and locating the next of kin are the force’s top priorities, she stated.
The bridge and its surroundings are presently being investigated by specialized crime scene investigators, and the bridge will stay closed during this time, according to her.
As of right now, there isn’t any harm that he poses to the general population. If someone does happen to spot him, we ask that they call 999 right away rather than approaching him.
