THE funeral of a mother-of-four whose body was found on a North-East beach took place yesterday.
The body of 44-year-old former teacher Debra McNicholas was found near the children's paddling pool in Redcar almost three weeks ago.
Although a post-mortem examination showed she drowned, Cleveland Police said there were marks on her body which suggested she could have fallen or been assaulted.
The funeral at St Augustine's Church was followed by burial at Redcar Cemetery.
Detectives are still investigating her death.
