The family of a woman found dead at a house in Leicester are paying tribute.

Tarnjeet Riaz, from High Wycombe and who also known by her maiden name Chagger, was found dead on Bank Holiday Monday after paramedics were called to an address on Tarbat Road.

In a statement, relatives said: “Our beloved Tarnjeet, a soul that truly cared for others more than herself. A soul that adored and looked after her mum, younger sister and younger brother.

“She took on the responsibility of a father for her siblings and was the backbone of the family. She was a bubbly, caring and a funny character who radiated nothing but happiness.

"She knew the right things to say and do. She was not just a sister or a daughter, she was our best friend.

"A best friend who is no longer with us. It is a cruel world we live in. Tarnjeet will be remembered by many and we’re grateful she touched all of our lives.

“We can now only cherish the memories we have of our Tarnjeet. We will all miss her very deeply and we will always love her, RIP our angel.”

Tarnjeet’s family have asked that their privacy is respected at this extremely difficult time.

Raj Sidpara, 50, of Tarbat Road, Leicester has been charged with murder and is due to appear at Leicester Magistrates Court today.
