RAZZELL VERDICT: After the trial, the case's senior investigating officer Detective Chief Inspector Paul Granger, said: "Linda's death has affected the lives of so many people, especially her four young children.

"Intensive searches to date using under water search teams have been unsuccessful in locating her body.

"Our hope is that one day we will be able to locate Linda so that the family can lay her to rest.

"Today is the culmination of a detailed and meticulous investigation by Wiltshire constabulary officers and we are pleased with the verdict.

"Our thoughts are with Linda's family and friends.

"Linda's children are being well cared for by close relatives and we hope that they can adjust to a life without the love and affection of a mother.''
