Cambridgeshire Police have said murder suspect Vitautas Jokubauskas, has been arrested on suspicion of murder. The 57-year-old man was arrested in Clipston Walk, Peterborough, at about 7pm on Sunday on suspicion of murdering a woman whose torso was found in a suitcase.

The man is understood to be a Lithuanian, who rented a room in a shared house in Peterborough where the suitcase was found on Friday.

According to reports from the BBC, Police were called to the house in Mayor’s Walk after other tenants reported a “pungent smell”. They found the woman’s torso in a suitcase.

A police spokesman said the body had not been identified yet but officers were keen to trace a woman, believed to be Mr Jokubauskas’s partner.
