UK girls: Police search new site

Jessica Chapman's parents made a private visit to where her body was found

SOHAM, England -- Police in Britain have widened their hunt for clues in the brutal murders of two schoolgirls to yet another location.

Forensic teams investigating the deaths of Holly Wells and Jessica Chapman began searching a bungalow in Lakenheath, Suffolk, on Thursday.

Two people -- college caretaker Ian Huntley and Maxine Carr, both from Soham, in Canbridgeshire, where the two girls lived -- have been charged in connection with the deaths.

The property is four miles from the spot where their bodies were found last Saturday and is understood to belong to Huntley's paternal grandmother Lily Gollings.

EXTRA INFORMATION Q&A: What happens now?

The search comes after police completed a three-day search of Huntley's father's home in Littleport, Cambridgeshire, from where about 50 items were taken away for testing.

As well as those two properties, extensive examinations have also been made in recent days of the scene where the bodies were found, Huntley and Carr's home and Huntley's place of work.

Meanwhile, the dead girls' parents have made private visits to the site where their daughters were found.

Kevin and Nicola Wells and Sharon and Leslie Chapman visited the wooded area near Lakenheath air base separately.

"Both parents did visit Lakenheath yesterday mid-morning," the spokesman told the Press Association on Thursday.

"It was at their request and I understand that the two couples visited separately."

The visit coincided with the formal identification of the two bodies confirming that they were those of the missing 10-year-olds.

Huntley, 28, has been charged with the murder of the youngsters and is detained in Rampton Hospital while psychiatric tests are completed.

Carr, 25, appeared before Peterborough magistrates on a charge of attempting to pervert the course of justice and was remanded in custody until August 29. No application for bail was made.

As Soham struggles to come to terms with what has happened in their close-knit community, floral tributes are transforming St Andrews Church yard into a sea of bouquets.

Thousands of messages have been received from all over the world on three dedicated websites with online books of condolence.

Messages have arrived from New Zealand, Canada, South America, the Far East, across Europe and countries from the former Soviet Union.
