Diggers used in search for April’s body

Police are using heavy digging equipment in the continuing search for April Jones as locals vow to step up attempts to locate the body of the missing five-year-old.

The equipment was being used in and around Ceinws after experts advised there was now a zero percent chance of finding her alive.

Police were waiting before using diggers until forensic teams had finished their fingertip searches of ground for potential clues. Now some of that work has been completed, they have decided to start dredging up earth.
