Schoolgirl laid to rest 16 years after she disappeared

MOURNERS at the funeral of Vicky Hamilton yesterday were told the schoolgirl’s family had been “robbed” of seeing her grow up.

Redding Parish Church near Falkirk was packed as family and friends finally paid their respects to the 15-year-old more than 16 years after she disappeared.

Her remains were unearthed at a house in Margate, Kent, England, on November 12, alongside those of 18-year-old student Dinah McNicol.
