NSW: Funeral for victims of south coast murder victims

NOWRA, Feb 13 AAP - Friends and relatives have gathered to mourn the death of a Nowra
couple whose bodies were found dumped in smouldering drums on the NSW south coast.

Kathryn McKay, 44, and Gregory Hosa, 56, were dedicated congregation members of Nowra's
Baptist Church, where their funeral is scheduled to start at 4pm (AEDT) today.

The couple are pictured wearing Akubra hats and smiling on the cover of the order of
service, which is headed "a celebration of life".

Tributes have flowed from various community groups since the bodies of Mr Hosa and
Ms McKay were found in bushland near Tomerong, about 15km south of Nowra, on January 29.

Their 11-year-old son is being cared for by relatives.

A man and a woman, also from Nowra, have been charged with their murders.
