The bodies of two white gay couples aged 62 and 71 have been found in suitcases in London, according to police reports.
The two victims were formerly a couple and still lived together in Shepherd’s Bush.
Police received notification of suspicious activity on Clifton Suspension Bridge. When they arrived, they discovered two suitcases containing human bodies.
The offender, who had arrived by cab, fled before police could arrest him.
According to Andy Valentine, the Assistant Deputy Commissioner, “although we don’t believe any of them have close family, we have located other, closer relatives who have been informed and are being supported by specialist officers”.
The investigation has sparked concern among Shepherd’s Bush residents and the wider LGBTQ+ community in London.
Officers have been working closely with the pan-London LGBTQ+ Independent Advisory Group (IAG) to ensure the investigation is thorough and sensitive.
Andy Valentine reassured the community, saying, “I hope this will be reassuring that although inquiries are still ongoing and the investigation is at a relatively early stage, we are not currently looking for anyone else in connection with the two murders.”
