Police investigating the murder of Sian O'Callaghan tonight found a second set of human remains after a huge search operation.Investigators spent 24 hours digging up the isolated spot in the Cotswolds in an extraordinary operation that involved full-scale diggers.
JCBs worked through the night at the field near Eastleach, Gloucestershire, after they were directed there by murder suspect Chris Halliwell.
Detective Superintendent Steve Fulcher said he had told the remains were those of a woman abducted in Swindon between 2003 and 2005.
This would appear to rule out Linda Razzell, who vanished from the town in March 2002 after parking her car just a few streets away from where Miss O'Callaghan went missing.
The 41-year-old's body was never found and her husband Glyn, 52, was jailed for life in 2003.
Detective Superintendent Steve Fulcher said tonight: 'During interviews he [Halliwell] indicated that he killed a young woman at some point between 2003 and 2005.
'He could not be specific about dates or the year but did give the exact location of the body. He told me a young woman had been taken by him from the Swindon area.
'Officers have begun work to recover this second body and officers have found remains we believe to be human, at the location at Eastleach. Work is ongoing at the site.'
Meanwhile, a post mortem examination on Miss O'Callaghan's body has revealed she had not been sexually assaulted. Read More
