Heartbreak for family as Jamie's body is found

A SEARCH for a missing teenage girl ended in heartbreak for a Cavan family yesterday.

The body of 13-year-old Jamie Farrelly-Maughan was discovered after a week-long search in the back garden of an unoccupied house in the town, about a half-mile from her home.

Speaking at the scene last night, her aunt Catherine said: "We are all shattered. Jamie's mother is in bits. We never thought it would end like this." Gardaí are treating the death as suspicious.
