‘Please help find my beautiful sister’

The sister of missing Irish woman Catherine Gowing yesterday appealed to people to search for her “beautiful sister and best friend”.

In a moving police appeal in the north Wales town of Mold, Emma Gowing said her sister was the “light of her life” and that of their parents.

The call was made after police were given 36 more hours by the courts to question a 46-year-old Welshman who was arrested on suspicion of her murder on Wednesday.
