Taxi Driver Denies Swindon Nightclub Murder

Thu, 31 May 2012 4:14PM

A taxi driver has denied murdering a young woman after she visited a nightclub in Swindon last year.

Christopher Halliwell, 48, pleaded not guilty during a plea and case management hearing.

Miss O'Callaghan disappeared after leaving Swindon's Suju nightclub in the early hours of March 19, 2011 after a night out with friends.

Less than a week later, police found the 22-year-old's body in a field in Uffington, Oxfordshire.
