The man police want to speak to after two suitcases containing human remains were found on Clifton Suspension Bridge took a taxi to the scene that night.
DETAILS OF WHAT HAPPENED
The suspect, who has now been pictured by police for the first time, may have been stopped from throwing the heavy suitcases over the bridge by the high safety railings.
The discovery of the sickening cases was made just before midnight last night when staff challenged a man acting suspiciously on the famous bridge in Bristol.
A picture of the moment bridge staff uncovered the grisly contents of the cases has now emerged, showing two men in high-vis vests using torches to investigate.
The man was taken to the bridge by taxi shortly before midnight last night and was later seen to be acting suspiciously.
A manhunt is now underway after he vanished by the time police arrived, leaving the suitcases and their gruesome contents behind.
Police today issued a photograph of the wanted man who is black and was wearing a black Adidas baseball cap and black trainers with thick white soles. He had a gold earring and was carrying a black backpack.
