The funeral mass of Offaly vet Catherine Gowing takes place in Co. Offaly later.

The 37-year-old was originally from Clonlee near Birr and was murdered in Wales last October.

She was last seen alive on October 12th at a supermarket near her home in New Brighton, Flintshire in north Wales.

Man charged with murder

Her burnt out Renault Clio was found days later just 2 miles from where she lived.

Some of her remains were later found at 2 sites - in a shallow pond in Sealand and on the banks of the River Dee near Chester.

46-year-old Clive Sharp was arrested in relation to her death and has since been charged with her murder.

Last night her remains were brought for a removal at St. Flannan's Church in Kinnitty.

She will be laid to rest after funeral mass later today.
