We're now ending our live coverage on the manhunt for chemical attack suspect Abdul Shokoor Ezedi - who police now believe died in the River Thames.
Officers scanned thousands of hours of CCTV to trace his movements - with his last recorded sighting showing 35-year-old Ezedi leaning over Chelsea Bridge.
No remains have been found as yet, and police even said his body "may not surface" due to fast-travelling water.
As such, it's not clear when the next update on the case might be.

What we know about the suspect
Met PoliceCopyright: Met Police
Abdul Shokoor Ezedi is believed to be originally from Afghanistan.
It is understood he arrived in the UK by lorry in 2016 - the same year he made his first unsuccessful asylum application.
He settled in the north-east, and is believed to have lived in Newcastle.
In 2018, Ezedi was convicted of one charge of sexual assault and one of exposure. He received a nine-week jail term, suspended for two years, and, consecutively, 36 weeks' imprisonment - also suspended for two years.
In 2020, Ezedi was discharged from probation supervision.
A second asylum claim - in which he claimed he had converted to Christianity, meaning he would have been at risk if he had returned to Afghanistan - was also refused.
That decision was later overturned at tribunal, following an appeal by Ezedi and having heard from a church witness who said he believed that Ezedi had converted.
Police believe he was previously in a relationship with the 31-year-old woman injured in the Clapham attack, but was not the father of her children.
Watch: Ezedi thought to be in the Thames, police say
Clapham chemical attack suspect Abdul Shokoor Ezedi is likely to be dead after going into the River Thames, police say.
The 35-year-old has not been seen since the night of the attack on 31 January, when a corrosive substance was thrown over a mother and her two children.
At a press conference on Friday, Cmdr Jon Savell said their working hypothesis was that he had gone into the water after last being seen at Chelsea Bridge. Watch some of his remarks below:

If you're new to this page, or need a recap, here's what police just told us about their hunt for the man suspected of throwing an alkaline substance over a 31-year-old woman and her daughters last week.
Police believe Abdul Shookor Ezedi is "probably" dead in the River Thames - but no bodies have been found
CCTV of his last-known sighting - near Chelsea Bridge - shows a change in Ezedi's behaviour, they said, including him walking up and down and pausing before he leans over a bridge
There's no more CCTV other than what police have shared, they told reporters, with Ezedi last being seen at 23:27 GMT on Wednesday - hours after the attack
The Met's Cmdr Jon Savell said police are working with Marine Police officers but, if in the river, Ezedi's body "may not surface" due to fast-travelling water and conditions at this time of year
Still unable to speak to police, the woman injured in the attack remains in hospital and officers are in touch with her family
Suspect was not in contact with anyone else - police
One of the final bits of new information police have given us is that, from the hundreds of hours of CCTV they have combed through, it does not look as though Ezedi has been in contact with anyone else.
The most recent sighting of him remains an image captured on CCTV at about 23:27 GMT on 31 January, crossing Chelsea Bridge.
That's the end of the police update - we'll bring you a round-up of the key points soon.

Savell continues at this off-camera briefing, which we're bringing you updates on, telling reporters that the Met has released all the CCTV footage it has in connection with Abdul Shokoor Ezedi.
Detailing efforts behind the manhunt, he says police have so far received 500 calls from the public.
He also says eight warrants have been executed by officers in relation to the case, three of which involved armed officers - and that 1,000 pieces of information have been collected.
'Police thoughts remain with victim'
Police say they remain in contact with the family of the injured woman, who is still unable to speak as she recovers in hospital.
The Met's Cmdr Jon Savell says the family will "naturally be anxious" and that the police will continue to support them while they carry on their inquiries.
Police say CCTV shows change in Ezedi's behaviour
We also heard from Det Supt Rick Sewart at the briefing, who says the latest CCTV tracked some of Abdul Shokoor Ezedi's last-known movements from Tower Hill in London.
Ezedi walked over 4 miles to Chelsea Bridge, near Battersea Park, where he was last seen.
Police say it's there that his behaviour appears to alter - they describe him walking up and down, and pausing before he's seen leaning over the bridge.
Body difficult to find due to fast-travelling water
Cmdr Savell says the police are working with marine police colleagues, following expert advice and an oceanographer.
Experts suggest the body may not surface due to wide snags and fast-travelling water in the River Thames, police say.
Asked by a reporter when they hope to find the body, officers say the time of year means conditions are treacherous.
BreakingPolice believe Ezedi's body 'probably' in River Thames
We've just received an update from the Met Police about their search for Abdul Shookor Ezedi - it was an on-the-record, off-camera briefing, so we'll bring you updates in the next few posts.
The force's Cmdr Jon Savell says the most probable outcome is that Ezedi is in the River Thames.
No bodies have been found, he adds, but this is now the Met's main line of inquiry.
Various CCTV sightings of Ezedi
Ezedi has been caught on CCTV in various sites across London since the attack.
The pictures show him with a serious injury on one side of his face, which police said could be fatal if not treated.
Although, a burns expert told the BBC earlier this week that the wound may be more complicated than that. “Unless it got infected, it would not be a threat to his life,” Prof Dziewulski, a spokesman for the British Association of Plastic Reconstructive and Aesthetic Surgeons, said.

Ezedi and injured woman were in a relationship - police
On Wednesday, the Met Police gave an update to reporters, saying they had a "very strong indication" that Abdul
Shokoor Ezedi was in a relationship with the woman he's accused of attacking.
Cmdr Jon Savell added that police thought the relationship had "broken down" - but wouldn't say more than that.
He also said it was believed that Ezedi had arranged to meet up with the woman, before allegedly attacking her - which she did along with her children.
Key things to know about this case
PA MediaCopyright: PA Media
What happened? Initial
reports said a 31-year-old woman and her two young girls - aged three and eight
- were injured after a "corrosive substance" was thrown at them on
Lessar Avenue in Clapham, south London, on Wednesday 31 January at 19:25 GMT.
What do
we know about the suspect? Police named the suspect as
35-year-old Abdul Shokoor Ezedi, thought to be from Afghanistan and who lives
in Newcastle, north-east England. Detectives say he’s not the father of the children, but investigators now believe he was in a relationship with the woman, which had "broken down".
Where is he? The attack took place at 19:25 -
he then boarded a train, at 19:33, at the nearby Clapham South tube station. At
21:33 he was seen exiting Tower Hill tube station, and the last confirmed
sighting was of him heading walking over Chelsea Bridge at 23:27.
What do
police think? That Ezedi is either being harboured from capture or has come to some harm.
Are the
victims still in hospital? The mother remains in
hospital, police have said, and there are concerns she may lose sight in one eye. Her daughters, however, have been discharged.
The manhunt continues

Good afternoon.
Police are continuing to search for Abdul Shokoor Ezedi, the man suspected of throwing a corrosive substance over a mother and her two daughters on Wednesday last week.
It was revealed on Wednesday that Ezedi and the woman had been in a relationship which broke down - and he had arranged to meet her before the attack. The woman injured in the attack remains sedated in hospital - her daughters have been discharged.
Ezedi, 35, hasn't been seen since the same evening as the attack, despite a combined operation between the Metropolitan Police and Northumbria Police, including officers from Counter Terrorism.
