Police are using DNA analysis to try to identify a woman whose remains were found in two suitcases in a forest.
Officers have also been searching properties in Wolverhampton and Birmingham following the discovery in the Forest of Dean, Gloucestershire.
The investigation began after a member of the public reported a vehicle being driven erratically on Tuesday night. Police found the vehicle, spoke to two people and then discovered the two suitcases.
They have until Friday night to question two people; a woman in her 20s from Birmingham and a man in his 30s from Wolverhampton.
On Friday, Gloucestershire police said: “A postmortem examination yesterday was found to be inconclusive and further examinations are ongoing to establish the cause of death.
“DNA testing is also ongoing to identify the female victim. Searches have continued today around the area of Stowfield Quarry, near Coleford, and some road closures remain in place in the surrounding area.
“Police would like to thank local residents and those impacted by the closures for their patience throughout the investigation.”
