Tina Satchwell’s body has been released to her family.

It is understood the Dingivan family will hold a private funeral for the 45-year-old some six-and-a-half years after she was reported missing.

Tina was the youngest of four girls in the family and she also had three brothers.

She was originally from St Bernard’s Place in Fermoy.

Tina moved to Leicester in the UK when she was a teenager. She met her husband Richard there and the couple married in 1991.

The pair subsequently moved to Fermoy and then to Grattan Street in Youghal where Tina’s remains were discovered buried under a stairwell last week.
