Intensive searches of the River Aire and at the Bradford flat of triple-murder suspect Stephen Griffiths have entered a second week, but police have uncovered few clues to the whereabouts of Susan Rushworth, 43, and Shelley Armitage, 31.

Griffiths, 40, is charged with murdering Ms Rushworth, Miss Armitage and Suzanne Blamires, 36, whose remains were recovered from the river last week .

The former public schoolboy gave his name as the "Crossbow Cannibal" when he appeared in court on Friday.

Yesterday, police continued searching the river at Shipley and excavation sites in Bradford city centre.
