QUESTIONS remain over what happened in the hours leading up to the death of a young woman in Tenby, just a few days before Christmas.

Michaela Haines, from Pembroke, was found dead at a flat in Tenby in the early hours of December 23.

Eight months on, her family still feel the circumstances around her death have not been fully investigated.

At a second pre-inquest hearing in Milford Haven on Thursday (August 31), Michaela’s family were told the police investigation into her death had now been concluded.

Coroner Mark Layton said this decision, which followed an appeal by the family in March to look again at the case, was based on the evidence currently available to police.

But Michaela’s mother Christine Williams and aunt Carla Reily believe important evidence has not been taken into account during the investigation.

They say CCTV footage from a nearby pub – captured the night before Michaela was found dead - has not been properly looked at, and have raised concerns over how police have handled the case.

“How can we figure out the how, what and why when the police have not done their job properly?” asked Ms Reily.

“We have been left in limbo from day one,” added a member of Michaela’s family.

Michaela’s family are due to meet with police to raise their concerns, and as such her inquest has again been adjourned.

A full hearing is expected to take place in November.

Speaking to the Western Telegraph, Mrs Williams urged anyone who might have seen her daughter out in Tenby on December 22 to come forward.

“If we can jog someone’s memory, if they saw anything that could help, please let us know,” she said.
