I dont think Karen is involved, my heart goes out to her...

"SHANNON Matthews’ mum was “staggered” yesterday after ANOTHER sensational twist in the saga over her daughter’s disappearance.

Traumatised Karen, 32, was left reeling again as the mother and sister of Shannon’s stepdad were arrested over suspected involvement in the girl’s kidnap.

Amanda Hyett, 25 – whose house is next door to Shannon’s family – was held with 49-year-old Alice Meehan. Her son Craig lived with Karen until HIS arrest earlier this week.

Mum-of-two Amanda, who also has a stepdaughter, was arrested on suspicion of assisting her uncle Mike Donovan. He is accused of abducting Shannon and holding her captive for 24 days.

Widow Alice – who Shannon, nine, called “Grandma” – was arrested and questioned on suspicion of attempting to pervert the course of justice.

The swoop followed allegations by Donovan during police interviews.

Cops had checked emails and phones to see if any of Shannon’s family or friends had contacted Donovan, 39.

The arrests were yet another hammer blow for Karen, who dumped 22-year-old Craig this week after his remand on child porn charges.

Karen was last night still on suicide watch at a police safe house.

A pal said: “She’s been told the latest news and is absolutely staggered.”

Craig’s arrest – which is not related to the Shannon case – came on the day Karen was briefly reunited with her daughter for the first time since her February 19 disappearance.

Shannon has been cared for by social services since cops found her in the base of a bed in Donovan’s flat.

Earlier this week, social services stepped in to look after three more of Karen’s children who normally live with the family in Dewsbury Moor, West Yorks. Her other three kids live with their fathers.

Alice and Amanda were arrested as they attended an appointment at Dewsbury police station yesterday.

Amanda was heavily involved in the huge hunt for Shannon and wore T-shirts appealing for help. News of her arrest was broken to hubby Neil by The Sun. The 36-year-old coach driver, away working in Spain, insisted: “She’s nothing to do with it.”

Karen has vowed to return home, despite death threats.

She has been warned vigilantes may target her semi over the charges made against ex-love Craig. But she insisted: “I won’t be driven out.”

Amanda and Alice were granted police bail last night."
