POLICE are today continuing to search for property belonging to murder victim Sian O’Callaghan in a field six miles east of Swindon. 

Members of Wiltshire's Major Crime Investigation Team are searching a field between the villages of Bourton and Bishopstone.

A search took place earlier in the month in another nearby field.

Detectives have been working on the theory that Sian was killed at Ramsbury, about 10 miles south of where her body was found, in Uffington, Oxfordshire.

The field currently being searched is equidistant between Swindon and Uffington.

Today a spokesman said: "Officers have received information that Sian's property may be in this area.

"Previous searches in this area have not found any of the outstanding property at this stage.

"This is not related to the investigation into the murder of Becky Godden.

"We are not prepared to discuss this further."

Sian, who was abducted and murdered by taxi driver Chris Halliwell in March 2011 after leaving an Old Town nightclub. Halliwell is currently serving 25 years in prison after being convicted of Sian’s murder.

The knife used to murder Sian has never been found by police, along with many of her personal items including her mobile phone, handbag, and keys.
