Remains discovered close to where dismembered body of Suzanne Blamires was found believed to be animal waste from food preparation

Detectives investigating the murders of three women in Bradford said today that remains recovered from the river Aire by police divers on Saturday are not human.
The remains, found on a stretch of the river close to Shipley Bridge weir, where the dismembered body of Suzanne Blamires was discovered last week, are thought to be animal waste from food preparation.
Meanwhile, forensic tests on tools stashed in a large suitcase recovered from the muddy water in the same area, between offices and converted mills, are continuing.
Officers are still searching along the river and at sites close to the red-light area where Blamires and Shelley Armitage and Susan Rushworth, two other women working as prostitutes, disappeared in the last year.
West Yorkshire police's underwater unit is concentrating all its resources on the hunt, and has cancelled a series of training exercises which had been planned for June.
