The family of a Leeds woman who was found dead at a block of flats have paid tribute, as a murder investigation continues.

58 year old Tracy Davenport was pronounced dead on Saturday morning, after police were called to a concern for safety at Cottingley Towers.

The full tribute reads: “A tribute to the most beautiful, kind, caring mother, sister, aunty, nana, niece and daughter.

“Tracy would help anybody and put everybody before herself, she would give you her last penny. Tracy lit up any room she walked into.

“A beautiful woman took too soon in the most horrific, unspeakable manor.

“Tracy, aka mum, you will be forever loved and missed forever more. There are no words to describe the void that this tragedy has left and can never again be filled.

“Love you always Alison, Adian and family.”
