However, at the heart of this incident a loved one has been torn away and our thoughts remain with Michelle's family, whom we continue to support with specialist officers.

She would be there for anyone and the day she was taken from us, she was doing just that - walking to meet her mum to take her shopping and to go for a coffee.
