Police investigating the suspected murders of three prostitutes believe they have discovered more human remains in the River Aire.
A West Yorkshire Police spokesman said: "The remains were found about 200 yards from where the remains of Suzanne Blamires were found on Tuesday. The remains will now be forensically examined to identify them and at this stage it is too early to speculate on who the remains belong to."
Criminology student Stephen Griffiths, 40, dubbed himself the "crossbow cannibal" when he appeared in court on Friday charged with three counts of murder.
He is accused of killing Ms Blamires, Shelley Armitage, 31, and Susan Rushworth, 43, who all went missing in Bradford. Although the remains of Ms Blamires, 36, were discovered on Tuesday, police are still trying to trace the other two sex workers.
A psychology graduate who was undertaking postgraduate research in criminology at Bradford University, Griffiths was arrested on Monday at his home on the edge of Bradford's red-light district.
An excavation is taking place at his flat in Thornton Road, along with numerous other searches across the city using police, forensic officers and specially trained dogs.
