The remains of murdered Irishwoman Catherine Gowing are being returned to Ireland today.

The 37-year-old was murdered in Wales last October.

She will be buried tomorrow in her home town of Kinnity in Co. Offaly.

She was reported missing after she failed to show up for work in a North Wales vet practice.

Man charged with murder

Her burnt-out car was found close to her home and a number of weeks later her body was discovered along a river bank.

46-year-old man Clive Sharp has been charged with her murder.

Following a lengthy period of forensic and post mortem investigations her remains will arrive at Dublin Airport later today.

While they are expected to arrive at Kinnitty Church at 9pm tonight.

Her funeral will take place tomorrow morning with the Gowing family requesting privacy at their house.
