British police have arrested the man they were hunting over the killing of two women whose body parts were found in bin bags in north London.
Mr Anthony John Hardy (51) was arrested in the grounds of Great Ormond Street Hospital in central London last night after a tip-off from a member of the public.
He was named by British police on Wednesday following the find of body parts in black bin bags near a flat in Royal College Street, Camden, north London, where he lived.
Detectives issued his photograph and he was filmed on CCTV at University College Hospital's (UCH) casualty department as he tried to get medication for his diabetic condition a few hours later.
Mr Hardy, who had shaved off his beard, spent four hours at UCH but left after apparently becoming panicky when staff tried to talk him into going to a hostel for the homeless.
A Metropolitan Police spokesman also revealed there had been two sightings of a woman, Ms Kelly Anne Nicol (24), from Falkirk, Scotland, last seen with Mr Hardy on Boxing Day.
Detectives had urged her to come forward saying they feared for her safety.
The body parts found so far belong to two white women, one thought to be in her thirties and the other in her late teens or early twenties. Police believe they were killed within the past week.
Neither of the victims has been identified but officers do not think they are related.
