Both of those victims are thought to have been known to Mosquera and the Met is appealing for information on his whereabouts.
Deputy Assistant Commissioner Andy Valentine said in a statement: “This is a fast-moving enquiry with detectives in London and Bristol actively pursuing a number of lines of enquiry.
“Locating Yostin Andres Mosquera, however, is the priority and I appeal to anyone with information on his whereabouts to get in touch.”
A 36-year-old man who was arrested in Greenwich on Friday in connection with the investigation has since been released without charge, police said.
Police said it was believed the suspect had travelled from the British capital to Bristol in southwest England earlier that day, and had taken a taxi to the bridge with the suitcases.
