The body of Eunice Balcombe who was found strangled at her Pewsey home on December 21 is to be returned to her native Kenya for the funeral.

Mrs Balcombe, 40, was born in Kenya and he parents who are both in their Eighties live in Nairobi.

She has seven bothers and sisters in Africa as well.

Her family has decided that once the authorities release the body it will be flown to Kenya for the funeral.

There will, however, be a thanksgiving service in St John the Baptist Church in Pewsey on a date to be arranged.

One of Mrs Balcombe's closest friends, Betty Sang, who lives in Marlborough said: "The thanksgiving service will be at the church where Eunice worshipped and where her children were Christened."

Mrs Sang said Mrs Balcombe had many friends over a wide area who would want to be at the thanksgiving service to say their final goodbyes.
