The sister of a mum killed in a fire in Middleton has paid tribute to her, describing her as the "best mum, sister and auntie".

Kate Mulcahy was found dead inside the home on Ramsden Farm after the fire broke out on Sunday morning.

On a public post on Facebook, her sister, Emma Cropper, said: "She really was the best and I will miss her until my last breath.

"The help given to John & the kids has been amazing and I can’t thank everyone enough. As everyone knows she meant the world to me & my girls and words can’t express how deeply she’ll be missed.

"My Mum & Dad are truly devastated and in a complete state of shock.

"Her kindness, laughter, and warmth touched so many lives, and I know so many of you will feel this loss as well.

"She really was the best Mum, Sister & Auntie and I can’t imagine a world without her in it. I’m so lucky as we have so many memories shared but so sad we won’t make anymore.

"My darling sister Kate Elizabeth , I will love and miss the joy you brought to this world forever. Thank you for everything , I promise your children will never forget what an outstanding mum you really were."

It's believed her four children managed to escape.

A police investigation is on-going.
