A PREGNANT mother-of-two from Birkenhead died after an incident in her home.

Detectives discovered Ms Paula Owens' body when they were called to her Park Street home at around 2am, on Friday.

Police have charged Ms Owens' boyfriend, 54-year-old Anthony McCormack, with murder.

McCormack appeared at Wirral Magistrates' Court on Monday and was represented by Mr Alan Boscoe, who did not apply for bail at the brief hearing.

He was sent to Liverpool Crown Court and held in custody to face a judge on Thursday, next week.

Reporting restrictions were not lifted.
