Detectives from the Met continue their investigation following the discovery of human remains on Clifton Suspension Bridge in Bristol.
Officers are still seeking the man whose image was released previously. He can now be named as 24-year-old Colombian national Yostin Andres Mosquera.
While searching a flat in Scotts Road, W12, on Friday, 12 July, officers found human remains which are in the process of being sensitively removed. Additional post-mortem examinations will be arranged as soon as possible.
At this early stage, officers believe that the remains are connected to the human remains found in Bristol, and that there are still two male victims.
Officers believe they know the identity of the two men, although formal identification is yet to take place. Enquiries continue to locate and inform their next of kin.
Both victims are thought to have been known to Mosquera, and the Met is appealing for information on his whereabouts.
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.”
The Met can confirm that a 36-year-old man arrested in connection with the investigation on 12 July at an address in Greenwich has since been released without charge.
Anyone with information that may assist police and, in particular, help us to locate the man shown in our appeal – now named as Yostin Andres Mosquera – is urged to call police on 101 and quote the Met Police reference ‘CAD 306 12JUL’.
