Funeral for murdered care worker

Ffion Wyn Roberts

The funeral of 22-year-old murdered care worker Ffion Wyn Roberts will be held in her home town later.

The service at Salem Chapel in Porthmadog, Gwynedd, takes place almost a month after she was found strangled in a waterway in the town centre.

A 20-year-old man, understood to be Ms Roberts’ brother, Elgan, was arrested earlier this week and released on bail.

A 52-year-old man, understood to be her father, Idris, was released on Wednesday following questioning.

Ms Roberts’ body was found on 10 April in a stretch of water known as Y Cyt after she had celebrated a friend’s birthday in nearby Tremadog.

An inquest heard that she had been strangled with a ligature and drowned. The inquest was adjourned while the police investigation continues.

Ms Roberts’s funeral is due to start at 1330 BST and will be relayed on a public address system.

Businesses in Porthmadog are expected to close to allow members of staff to pay their respects.
