The suspect in the suitcase murder investigation fled the scene shouting “my boss is really mean” before human remains were found.
The man was chased by a spectator on a bike from the Clifton Suspension Bridge in Bristol and made the comment in Spanish before apparently trying to stop the person filming.
On Thursday morning, police discovered the remains of two men in suitcases nearby. More remains were found at a flat in west London on Friday as a manhunt was underway.
Armed police arrested a 34-year-old man at Temple Meads station in Bristol on Saturday, who is believed to be facing questioning in London.
Metropolitan Police officers had earlier said they wanted to speak to Yostin Andres Mosquera, a 34-year-old Colombian national.
The Sun published a video of the suspect fleeing from the Clifton Suspension Bridge, where he was reportedly stopped by witnesses who believed they saw blood dripping from the luggage he was carrying.
The video shows him being chased by a person on a bicycle before he says “mi jefe es muy malo”, which is Spanish for “my boss is really mean”.
Connected human remains
Detectives have confirmed that human remains found in a Shepherd’s Bush flat belong to the same two men whose remains were found in Bristol.
The victims were reported to be living together and one of them had recently traveled to Colombia. They have not yet been identified.
A neighbour told the Mail on Sunday that one of them “had gone on holiday to Colombia… they had travelled a lot and had a villa on the border between Spain and France. They had lived here for a few years.”
One of the men is believed to have worked as a concierge for Harrods Estate, the property company, before retiring in 2019.
Investigators in blue forensic suits, masks and gloves could be seen working behind a cordon outside the Scotts Road property on Saturday.
