Murder arrest over Peterborough torso in suitcase



A 57-year-old man has been arrested on suspicion of murdering a woman whose torso was found in a suitcase.
The man is understood to be Vitautas Jokubauskas, who rented a room in a shared house in Peterborough where the suitcase was found on Friday.
Cambridgeshire Police said it was no longer searching for the Lithuanian national.
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, which did not contain her legs, arms or head.

The woman's body has been removed from the house and a post-mortem examination is due to take place at Peterborough City Hospital on Monday.

She was described as being about 40 years old, slim, with black hair and also Lithuanian, he said.
