A MOTHER will make a television appeal this morning for the return of a stolen necklace containing her late partner and two children’s ashes.

Sharon Howard’s partner and two sons, aged just six and eight, were killed in the 2004 tsunami in Thailand. 

Sharon had their ashes added to a golden orb which she wore as a necklace. This and other jewellery was stolen from her home in Hayle, between the end of June and the beginning of July this year.

She will be live on Crimewatch Roadshow Live at 9.15am on BBC One to appeal for the return of necklace.

An appeal from Devon & Cornwall Police in July has so far failed to recover the precious items. 

Police constable Jamie Ellingham said at the time:“The loss of these items is particularly distressing to the victim and we are doing all that we can to help reunite her with them.”

The specially-made round item is on a gold chain and has a gold band around it.

A number of gold and diamond rings, a bracelet and a chain were also taken, several of which are distinctive.

These include a wedding band-style ring with three elephants made of Asian gold; a gold chain with gold-plated Buddha; and an 18-carat gold engagement ring with diamond solitaire, which has a clasp missing.

A thick Asian gold ring with small diamonds across it; a white gold sapphire ring with diamond surround and a gold bracelet with chain pattern were taken.

An 18-carat gold ring with a gold ball covered in small diamonds and a small gold ring with diamonds across it were stolen, as well as a gold ring with four diamonds on its shank, three to the front and three to the back.

Anyone with information is urged to call police on 101, or email 101@dc.police.uk, quoting crime reference number CR/058422/19.

Information can also be passed anonymously to independent charity Crimestoppers by calling 0800 555111, or via www.crimestoppers-uk.org
