# Sian O'Callaghan murder: Hunt in field for second body after tip from
|
||
suspect
|
||
|
||
## In an isolated field, on Friday night diggers continued to sift through
|
||
the soil on a grim mission to find a second body linked to the Sian
|
||
O'Callaghan murder investigation.

|
||
|
||
Search teams were led there following a tip from Chris Halliwell, the taxi
|
||
driver suspect in the case. Their efforts were focused on land near Eastleach
|
||
Turville, about 15 miles north of Swindon.
|
||
|
||
Yesterday, Det Supt Steve Fulcher, who is leading the investigation, said Mr
|
||
Halliwell, who remains in custody on suspicion of kidnap and double murder,
|
||
had led him to the field in person.
|
||
|
||
Police said that if they found the body it was likely to have been someone who
|
||
was killed "some years ago". The family of Linda Razzell, 41, a teacher who
|
||
went missing in Swindon in 2002, were waiting to see if she could be a second
|
||
victim. Mrs Razzell's estranged husband, Glyn, was convicted of her murder in
|
||
2003. He has always protested his innocence.
|
||
|
||
Police found Miss O'Callaghan's body near the White Horse in Uffington, Oxon,
|
||
on Thursday. They believe she was killed elsewhere and her body moved.
|
||
|
||
The 22-year-old office administrator had not been seen since she left Suju
|
||
nightclub in Swindon shortly before 3am last Saturday, texting her boyfriend,
|
||
Kevin Reape, to say she would be home soon.

|
||
|
||
Mr Reape was asleep, but woke 30 minutes later to find the message and became
|
||
anxious that she was not home. He texted her back, writing: "Worried.x"
|
||
|
||
The message was picked up by Miss O'Callaghan's phone 15 miles away in
|
||
Savernake Forest, near Marlborough. A search of the area involved 400
|
||
volunteers, but it was not until Thursday afternoon and after the arrest of Mr
|
||
Halliwell that police were led to her body lying in undergrowth more than 20
|
||
miles away.
|
||
|
||
Mr Fulcher, of Wiltshire Police, said: "He led me to two locations; one where
|
||
we discovered the body of a woman who we believe is Sian and also to another
|
||
location where we believe that a second body may be."
|
||
|
||
He was taken to the second site at about 5pm and shown a spot near a set of
|
||
gateposts, just inside a field next to a crossroads. The field is owned by
|
||
Anthony Kinch, a farmer. He said: "All I can say is it is not far from the
|
||
road, the area where they are looking."
|
||
|
||
Graham Soule, whose property overlooks the area, said a group of plain-clothed
|
||
officials arrived at 3pm on Thursday. Later, figures in white suits could be
|
||
seen erecting a blue tent and the search progressed over a quarter of a mile.
|
||
|
||
As they continued to search the area, police were given another 24 hours to
|
||
question Mr Halliwell. Last night they said they did not know who the second
|
||
body could be: "We do not at this stage know what we are dealing with."
|
||
|
||
Mrs Razzell, a mother of four, has never been found. Mr Razzell was convicted
|
||
after traces of his wife's blood were found in a car he had borrowed, but the
|
||
blood was missed during two forensic examinations and Mr Razzell's family
|
||
believe the police made a mistake.
|
||
|
||
A post-mortem examination was carried out on Miss O'Callaghan's body yesterday
|
||
and the results are expected over the weekend.
