Accused’s girl visits jail as Jo is laid to rest
THE girlfriend of Jo Yeates' alleged killer emerges from a prison visit - on the same day as the tragic 25-year-old's funeral.
Tanja Morson, 34, was seen for the first time since Vincent Tabak was charged.She arrived at top-security Long Lartin prison with the Dutchman's brother Marcel and a female family friend who had travelled from Holland.
The trio went to the Worcestershire jail on Friday afternoon as Jo's family held her funeral in her home village of Ampfield, Hants - at which she was described as "an English rose".
Financial analyst Tanja, who lived with Tabak in a flat next to Jo, has kept a low profile since her boyfriend's arrest.

She spent nearly two hours in the jail, then emerged alone and sat in a car. Marcel and his friend came out 45 minutes later.
A prison insider said: "It was an emotional time for everyone. It's the first time he's seen his girlfriend for weeks. She was eager to visit him as soon as possible once she was cleared to do so.
