The mother-of-three, from Barnton, near Northwich, was reported missing in the early hours of Saturday and last seen at a garage in Sandiway at 3.50am, where she was captured on CCTV going into the store.

On Tuesday morning, a spokeswoman for Cheshire Police said the body had been formally identified as Ms Booth.

On Monday, police said there were not believed to be any suspicious circumstances and a file would be prepared for the coroner.
