Tia shrine visit by grieving mother

The grieving mother of murdered schoolgirl Tia Sharp was overcome with emotion as she visited the site where tributes have been left to her daughter.

The 12-year-old's body was discovered at her grandmother Christine Sharp's terraced house more than a week after she was reported missing.

Her mother Natalie Sharp wept at the shrine of flowers and cards on the pavement close to the property, hours after the grandmother's partner, Stuart Hazell, 37, was charged with murder. Hazell is due to appear in court today.
