Some linked the Bristol cases to incidents in Bath where there have been reports of 11 deaths in the same stretch of the River Avon since 2009.

“There are too many coincidences here,” said Lavina Smith. “Why isn’t anyone investigating the possibility that this is a serial crime attack in Bristol and Bath?”

Others drew parallels with incidents in Manchester, suggesting that in that city too, the deaths of young men found in canals were not coincidence, but the result of “something darker”.
