'A kind, friendly lady, who would assist in helping anyone out'.

The brother of a woman found dead at her home in Gorleston has paid tribute.

68 year old Linda Hood was discovered at the property in Cherwell Way on Friday June 11.

Linda Hood's brother, Tony Green, said: "I am deeply saddened to hear the awful news of how my beloved sister Linda has died, she was a kind, friendly lady who would assist in helping anyone out.

"I really want to urge for anyone who has any information to come forward and assist the police with this serious investigation".

House to house enquiries were made in the area by police on Tuesday June 15.

"We encourage members of the public to speak with them, about any concerns they may have.”
