POLICE are continuing their search of a property in Ashbury Avenue today as part of the Becky Godden-Edwards murder investigation.
Information has come to light linking the property in Nythe, which was owned by convicted killer Christopher Halliwell prior to 2007, with the murder of Becky, who was discovered dead in a field in Eastleach in 2011, more than eight years after she disappeared.
DCI Sean Memory said the house-to-house enquiries are expected to end today.
"Our Specialist officers have resumed their searches at the property on Ashbury Avenue and have two rooms left to focus their attention on," he said.
"The Blood dogs have completed their duties and we are grateful to South Wales Police for their assistance.
"Another witness came forward last night and has provided information which officers are following up today and we expect that the house to house enquiries will be finished this evening.
"We are on track to be able to finalise our search by the end of the week and again I would like to say how much we appreciate the understanding of all the local residents.
"We continue to appeal for any information about where Becky Godden was over the period of Christmas 2002 and New Year 2003. I urge anyone who has information to contact us on 101."
