A missing mother who was found dead after being pulled out of the sea at a Cornish beauty spot has been pictured for the first time.

Roxanne Roberts, 41, was last spotted on Saturday morning prompting police to release a missing persons appeal.

She was reported missing from Porthtowan, a popular seaside destination pulling in thousands of tourists each year thanks to its range of scenic beaches.

The mother was described as being 'of thin build, with black and purple hair and 5ft 9ins tall' in the appeal.

But on Sunday at around midday a body thought to be hers was dredged out of the sea at Portreath, nine minutes' drive from where she was last spotted.
