Hundreds of mourners pay respects at removal of tragic toddler Santina Cawley

Hundreds of mourners have paid their respects at the removal of tragic toddler Santina Cawley.

At 4pm; family, friends and well-wishers entered the funeral home at North Gate Bridge in Co Cork for a short ceremony before Santina was brought to the North Cathedral.

Younger members of Santina's family wore white t-shirts with a picture of the toddler on the front and 'RIP Angel Santina' on the back, Cork Beo reports.

A Mass of The Angels will be held tomorrow at 11am at the North Cathedral followed by the funeral afterwards at St Catherine's Cemetery in Kilcully.

The murder investigation into Santina's death is ongoing and Gardai recently renewed their appeal for witnesses or anyone with information - particularly anyone who was at the Elderwood apartment complex between 1.00am and 5.30am last Friday morning - to come forward and make contact with them in the incident room at Anglesea Street.

Investigators are particularly interested in speaking with anyone who might possibly have dash cam or mobile phone footage from the area at the above times.

A woman in her 30s was released without charge earlier this week after being arrested in connection with the murder investigation on Monday.

Santina was found with serious injuries at the Elderwood complex on Boreenmanna Road last Friday morning and was rushed to Cork University Hospital, where she was pronounced dead four hours later.
