Article: Shannon 'not going home yet' - police

Dewsbury schoolgirl Shannon Matthews will remain in police care for the time being, while the facts of her disappearance are established, police said tonight.

A senior police officer in the inquiry broke the news on Sunday evening after addressing around 20 community leaders at St John's Church in Dewsbury.

Police also denied suggestions from some people in Dewsabury that they had ignored tip-offs about Shannon's whereabouts.

Chief Supt Barry South said: "Shannon is safe and she is well. She is working with people who are used to dealing with these sensitive inquiries."
