Police searching garden of killer for bodies

Wiltshire Police are searching the garden of Christopher Halliwell's former home in Swindon.

The operation at 96 Broad St is expected to last for five days. They are searching two properties along with garages believed to be on the same street.

Police say it's intelligence led, based on new information, and they emphasise they are not sure if they'll find anything.

Police have never searched the exterior of the property before and say that the search is unrelated to the current owners.

Halliwell, a Swindon taxi driver, was jailed for a whole life term, after being found guilty of murdering Becky Godden.

The 52 year-old was already serving a life sentence for the murder of Sian O’Callaghan in 2011.
