In the early hours of Saturday 19th March 2011, a 22-year-old named Sian O'Callaghan left Suju's nightclub in Swindon after a night out with her friends. It should have been less than a 15-minute walk home to the house she shared with her boyfriend Kevin Reape (played by Charlie Cooper). However, she never returned. Realising something was seriousl...
Sian was caught on CCTV at 2.52am leaving the nightclub in Swindon, Wiltshire. The next important clue came from a text message sent by Kevin at 3.24am, which was received on Sian's phone; analysis showed that her mobile phone had been in the Savernake Forest area at the time the message arrived. This was roughly 12 miles away. If she had traveled ...

He argued thatthe original judge (Mrs Justice Cox) had been ...
