Divers seek Offaly woman

Specialist underwater units and forensic experts continued a massive search operation yesterday near where missing Offaly woman Catherine Gowing’s burned-out car was found last Friday.

The family of the 37-year-old vowed over the weekend to “bring her home” after a man was charged on Saturday with her murder.

Clive Sharp, a boyfriend of Ms Gowing’s housemate and friend, Irishwoman Jane Doyle, will appear in a British court again tomorrow, where the issue of bail will be decided.
