Bit of an update re the soil evidence ( I have snipped the article, it goes into far more detail at the link )
A JURY have been told it is likely that soil recovered from items in Christopher Halliwells shed came from the field where the remains of Becky Godden were found.
The evidence concerned soil samples taken from a wood handled spade and roll of tape attached to the back of it, a black handled garden fork and a pickaxe blade recovered from Halliwells shed along with the silver tape found in the grave.
These were compared to samples taken from Oxo Bottom Field.
"All the soil on the silver tape - 100% - is likely to have come from Oxo Bottom field.
"About 50% of the soil that came from the black tape is likely to have come from the field.
