Police have begun searching a bungalow in Lakenheath about four miles from the spot where the bodies of Holly Wells and Jessica Chapman were found.

Forensic officers began scouring the property, which is understood to belong to Ian Huntley's grandmother Lily Gollings, who was not present.

On Wednesday, they completed a three-day search at Huntley's father's home in Littleport, Cambridgeshire, from where about 50 items were taken away for testing.

That house remained sealed off by a police cordon and was expected to remain cordoned off for at least a week.

Officers sealed off the entrances to Quayside Court in Lakenheath as the white-suited scenes of crime officers began work.

A Cambridgeshire Police spokesman said it was a "low key" search and a routine part of the investigation.

Meanwhile, all the football matches to be held this weekend in Britain will hold a one minute silence for the girls.
