Further Arrests In Shannon Case
A further three arrests have been made today as police probe deeper into the Shannon Matthew's case.
Alice Meehan, 49, and her two daughters, Amanda Hyett, 25, and Caroline Meehan, 29, have all been arrested on suspicion of perverting the course of justice.
Alice Meehan, the mother of Karen Matthew's partner Mr Meehan, and his sister Amanda Hyett were previously arrested last week and released on bail, on suspicion of attempting to pervert the course of justice and suspicion of assisting an offender.
Shannon's mother, Karen Matthews, 32, from Dewsbury, West Yorkshire, was remanded in custody yesterday on charges of neglect and perverting the course of justice.
Shannon disappeared on February 19, following a school swimming trip. She was discovered on March 14 hidden in the base of a bed in the flat of Michael Donovan, 39, who is awaiting trial for kidnap and false imprisonment in November.
Contractors are boarding up her Ms Matthew's home in Moorside road.
Police have asked residents from the area not to "take the law into their own hands" and make rash judgements about those who have been arrested in connection to disappearance of the schoolgirl.
Five people have now been arrested in connection with the alleged abduction of the nine year old.
Mr Meehan has been charged with possessing child pornography in an unrelated case.
