DEATH dogs, like those used in the Maddie McCann case, arrived at Redhill Farm in Redmarley to help in the search for murdered Kate Prout's body.

They were joined by a forensic search and recovery expert on the third day of the operation following the shock confession by Adrian Prout that he strangled his wife.

On Friday he showed police where he had buried her body in woodland on the £1.6 million farm which was sold to Ross farmers Chinns a fortnight ago.

Police have brought in the services of Specialist Group International, a leading forensic and recovery experts based in Surrey.
