The family of a woman who died following an assault have paid tribute to her.

74-year-old Lorna England was involved in the assault in Ludwell Valley Park in Exeter on Saturday (February 18) - in which police have now arrested a 30-year-old man charged with her murder.

In a statement from Lorna's family, they said: “On Saturday 18 February, our beloved wife, mum, grandma and sister, Lorna England was tragically and suddenly taken away from us.

“Lorna was the kindest, most generous and beautiful loving lady. Her energy and zest for life was infectious. As a family we are heartbroken by her death.

“No words can describe the loss and impact. She meant the world to us. We would like to take this opportunity to thank everyone for all the support, kind words and sympathy we have received.”

The family have asked for privacy as they grieve and come to terms with their loss.
