# Sian O'Callaghan murder: teacher may be Swindon suspect's other victim
|
||
|
||
## The family of a teacher who disappeared nine years ago are waiting to
|
||
discover if she was the other alleged victim of a taxi driver held over the
|
||
murder of Sian O'Callaghan.

By Gordon Rayner and John Bingham 10:29PM GMT 25 Mar 2011
|
||
|
||
Linda Razzell, 41, went missing on her way to work in March 2002 in Swindon, a
|
||
short drive from the nightclub where Miss O'Callaghan was last seen a week
|
||
ago.
|
||
|
||
Last night police continued to question Chris Halliwell, 47, on suspicion of
|
||
kidnap and two murders after he led them to the body of Miss O'Callaghan and
|
||
took them to a second location where he said another body was buried.
|
||
|
||
It is understood that Miss O'Callaghan's body was naked, but police would not
|
||
say whether she had been sexually assaulted.
|
||
|
||
A search team spent yesterday digging in a ploughed field at Eastleach, Glos,
|
||
where Mr Halliwell said they would find the unnamed victim.
|
||
|
||
Det Supt Steve Fulcher, leading the murder inquiry, said he believed that if
|
||
there were another body, the victim would have been killed "some years ago".
|
||
However, he said: "We do not at this stage know what we are dealing with."

|
||
|
||
Officers are understood to be unsure of the identity of the woman Mr Halliwell
|
||
claims is buried in the field, but Mrs Razzell, a mother of four, is one of
|
||
the few people to have gone missing in the area who has never been found.
|
||
|
||
Her estranged husband Glyn, a former bank worker, was convicted of her murder
|
||
in 2003, but has always protested his innocence.
|
||
|
||
His family has campaigned for his release ever since.
|
||
|
||
His sister, Vicky George, said she was desperately waiting for news from
|
||
Wiltshire Police.
|
||
|
||
"My brother has always maintained his innocence," she said. "But we can't get
|
||
his case reviewed until there is new evidence, and the police won't give us
|
||
access to the files."
|
||
|
||
Mrs Razzell, who worked at Swindon College, had several boyfriends after she
|
||
and her husband separated in 2000.
|
||
|
||
Police spent months trying to trace a man she was seen kissing in a pub car
|
||
park in the weeks before her death.
|
||
|
||
A close friend of Mrs Razzell, who declined to be named, said, "I hope it is
|
||
Linda's body, for everyone's sake." But Mrs Razzell's cousin, Julie Westmore,
|
||
said she had "no doubt" that the second body was someone else.
|
||
|
||
"There is only one person who murdered Linda and that is Glyn Razzell," she
|
||
said. "As far as we are concerned, the police got the right man for Linda's
|
||
murder and thankfully he is now behind bars where he belongs."
|
||
|
||
Detectives investigating the disappearance in 2007 of Kate Prout, 57, are also
|
||
understood to have been in touch with Wiltshire Police. The search for remains
|
||
has been complicated by the fact that the field where the body is thought to
|
||
have been buried is ploughed every year.
|
||
|
||
Mr Fulcher said it was "not a simple issue to ascertain whether there is a
|
||
second body at that location".
|
||
|
||
Swindon magistrates yesterday granted police another 24 hours to question Mr
|
||
Halliwell.
|
||
|
||
It emerged yesterday that Mr Halliwell, a father of three, knew 22-year-old
|
||
Miss O'Callaghan through his children and his two stepdaughters, who
|
||
socialised with the personal assistant.
|
||
|
||
His green Toyota Avensis was seen on Tuesday by officers checking CCTV footage
|
||
of the night Miss O'Callaghan went missing.
|
||
|
||
He is thought to have been kept under surveillance until his arrest on
|
||
Thursday.
|
||
|
||
Mr Fulcher disclosed that Mr Halliwell appeared to have moved Miss
|
||
O'Callaghan's body from its original location to the spot where it was found
|
||
on Thursday near the Uffington White Horse landmark.
