He repeated his appeal for anyone out "lamping" or poaching in the Ramsbury
area near Marlborough at any time from 3am on Saturday March 19 to contact
police without fear of arrest. But detectives have not disclosed who they
believe the body was, saying only that they believe it was a young woman
abducted in Swindon between 2003 and 2005.
They will have to use dental records and DNA to work out the identify of the
body, which was found at a field in Gloucestershire where they had been
digging for more than two days.
Taxi driver Chris Halliwell led them first to Miss O'Callaghan's body then
told them of a second burial site prompting a major dig by forensic scientists
using JCBs.
Det Supt Steve Fulcher said the 47-year-old man being held in connection with
the two murder investigations had "indicated he killed a young woman between
2003 and 2005.
"He could not be specific about the date but he said she had been taken from
the Swindon area."
The suspect was also unable to identify the woman, he said.
Mr Halliwell, has been charged with the murder of Miss O'Callaghan, a PA from
Swindon .
Police were led to the isolated Gloucestershire field, 25 miles from Miss
O'Callaghan's home town of Swindon, on Thursday by Mr Halliwell.
The father-of-three had been arrested outside Asda supermarket where he was
picking up a fare.
He also took officers to the body of Miss O'Callaghan ,at Uffington,
Oxfordshire, miles east of Swindon. The office administrator was formally
identified by her family on Friday night.
The results of tests showing the precise cause of her death are expected to be
released early this week.
Mr Fulcher said there was "no indication" that Sian was sexually assaulted.
He also issued a new appeal for witnesses who had been "lamping or poaching"
in the area around Ramsbury, near Malborough, in the early hours of Saturday
last week to contact police without fear of arrest over their illegal
activities.
Magistrates have given police extra time to question Mr Halliwell, who is in
police custody after being arrested on suspicion of kidnap and two murders.
Miss O'Callaghan was last seen by friends leaving the Swindon nightclub at
2.52am on Saturday March 19.
At 1.15am she texted her boyfriend Kevin Reape, 25, with whom she lived in a
flat half a mile away from the club, saying: "Where are you? x."
Records show that he texted her back at 3.24am, saying: "Worried. X". It later
emerged that her mobile signal was from Savernake Forest.
Police believe her body was later moved from there to Uffington Hill.
Det Supt Fulcher also revealed that CCTV footage had revealed more details of
how Miss O'Callaghan was abducted.
The footage showed that the driver of a green Toyota Aventis had driven past
her in Swindon High Street, and had turned around and gone back towards where
she was standing.
The CCTV enabled officers to identify the car and trace the driver.
Hundreds of floral tributes to Sian, placed outside the Fuju nightclub were
removed last night, with the approval of Sian's family, to allow the club to
reopen.
Miss O'Callaghan's family thanked the many members of the public who helped in
the search for "our beautiful girl".
