POLICE hunting for a woman and her four children, who disappeared from the Helston area a month ago, discovered three bodies yesterday morning in a woodshed.

After concentrating their search on the woodshed at the family home, in Carnkie, the police then switched their attention to a field at Treluswell.

As of yesterday afternoon there had been no confirmation of whether or not the bodies found were of Lesley Ford, aged 36, or any of the four missing children - Sarah Jane 17, Annie Marie 16, Steven 14 and Craig 13. They were her children by a previous marriage.

Police yesterday arrested Mrs Ford's husband Lee, aged 33, on suspicion of murder.
