A HOUSE that was part of a major murder enquiry has been boarded up, after 11 days.
An address on Independent Street, Little Horton, was part of a police investigation that led to the discovery of the remains of Harrogate woman Susan Howells.
A square of overgrown grass, just opposite the house, was also cordoned off by officers.
Enquiries were still being made there at the beginning of today, with Crime Scene Investigation (CSI) officers seen removing evidence bags from the property.
Officers were also continuing to search inside and outside the home.
But, the house has now been boarded up with metal sheets, while the cordon covering the patch of nearby grass has been removed.
Police found the remains last Friday on private land off Station Road, Doncaster.
It was confirmed on Monday that they were the remains of 52-year-old Ms Howells, who was last seen in February.
Two men have been charged in connection with her disappearance and have been remanded to appear at Leeds Crown Court later this month.
Dale Tarbox, 39, of Station Road, Doncaster, was the first to be charged.
He was accused of murdering the missing woman and was remanded back into custody after appearing at Leeds Crown Court on Thursday, October 3.
Keith Wadsworth, 60, of Dunscroft, Doncaster, also appeared at Leeds on Thursday.
He was charged that day with preventing a lawful and decent burial.
Wadsworth was also remanded into custody and both he and Tarbox will appear before Leeds Crown Court on Wednesday, October 30.
A 63-year-old woman also arrested in connection with Miss Howells’ disappearance has been released on bail.
