UK police find human remains in river
LONDON — Police investigating the deaths of three British women say they have recovered what are believed to be human remains in a river in northern England.
West Yorkshire Police say an underwater search team made the discovery in the River Aire Saturday, near where body parts of 36-year-old Suzanne Blamires were found Tuesday.
Blamires went missing last week in Bradford, about 200 miles (320 kilometers) north of London. Two other women also disappeared from the city earlier. All three were said to be sex workers.
Police have charged 40-year-old Stephen Griffiths, a doctoral student researching murder, for killing the women.
Griffiths appeared in court Friday and declared he was “the crossbow cannibal.” Britain’s press suggested that Griffiths used a crossbow to kill one of his victims.
