The discovery came six days after Miss O'Callaghan, 22, was last seen alive leaving a club. Police said they believed they had found her body close to the Uffington White Horse beauty spot in Oxfordshire. In an extraordinary twist, officers then said they had been told about a second as yet unidentified body, which they have yet to find.
The man arrested is believed to be 47– year–old Chris Halliwell, a taxi driver. The suspect is being held on suspicion of kidnap and double murder.
Det Supt Steve Fulcher, who is leading the inquiry, said: "A 47–year–old man from Swindon is in custody, having been arrested for kidnap and two murders.
"The location of two bodies have been identified to me by this individual, one of whom has yet to be identified formally, but I am quite clear is Sian." Mr Fulcher added that Miss O'Callaghan's parents Mick, 51, and Elaine, 48, had been told about the discovery and were deeply distressed.
However, the detective would not be drawn on the identity – or even the gender – of the other body. Reports last night claimed it was that of an unnamed woman killed in 2001.
