|
||
off the streets of Swindon some time between 2003 and 2005.
|
||
|
||
According to the detective leading the investigation, Mr Halliwell has told

Hai Nguyen, 20, disappeared from her home in Hesketh Crescent on June 27 2005.
|
||
|
||
She had come to England from Vietnam in May 2003. Wiltshire Police refused to
|
||
say whether she was ever found.
|
||
|
||
Mr Halliwell was arrested in a supermarket car park on Thursday.
|
||
|
||
Detectives are hoping to speak with anyone who was poaching or lamping in
|
||
fields around Ramsbury, 13 miles outside Swindon, in the early hours of
|
||
Saturday March 19.
|
||
|
||
Det Supt Steve Fulcher said he was interested in any information they might
|
||
have about suspicious activity in the area, and any possible sightings of a
|
||
green Toyota Avensis.
|
||
|
||
He added: "I want to stress that we only want information from you that is
|
||
relevant to the Sian O'Callaghan inquiry, we are not interested in prosecuting
|
||
anyone for lamping or poaching."
|
||
|
||
After being told about the location of a second possible victim, detectives
|
||
discovered the woman's remains in a field in Eastleach in Gloucestershire on
|
||
Saturday morning. The body of Miss O'Callaghan, who disappeared from the Suju
|
||
nightclub in Swindon in the early hours of Saturday March 19, was discovered
|
||
in a shallow grave next to The White Horse of Uffington, in Oxfordshire, on
|
||
Thursday.
|
||
|
||
She was formally identified by a member of her family the following day.
|
||
|
||
Police said that there was no evidence that Miss O'Callaghan was sexually
|
||
assaulted.
|
||
|
||
They believe that she was originally buried in Savernake Forest, but was moved
|
||
after officers and members of the public concentrated their searches on the
|
||
4,500-acre wood.
|
||
|
||
More than 5,000 people gathered to pay tribute to Miss O'Callaghan by floating
|
||
Chinese lanterns into the night sky at the Polo Ground in Swindon on Saturday
|
||
night.
|
||
|
||
An estimated 1,000 lanterns were released following a two-minute silence at
|
||
8pm.
|
||
|
||
Hundreds of people then joined in a recital of The Lord's Prayer as others lit
|
||
candles and comforted each other.
|
||
|
||
The event - called Lighting Up the Sky for Sian - was organised via a Facebook
|
||
page.
|
||
|
||
Mr Halliwell, of Swindon, was charged with Miss O'Callaghan's murder at 9.20pm
|
||
on Saturday.
|
||
|
||
He is in police custody at Gablecross Police Station in Swindon and is due to
|
||
appear in court this morning.
