Charlotte’s mother Gaynor, said: “In memory of my beautiful, funny, caring, loving daughter – my precious baby girl Charlotte.

“As a mother I never ever expected to have to write something so tragic and heart-breaking as this – my heart is in pieces, and I know many of you who knew Charlotte loved her dearly.

“As most of you know by now my beautiful daughter Charlotte passed away in what I can only describe as completely devastating circumstances.

“The heartache I am enduring at this awful time knows no boundaries. I still cannot and don’t think I ever will accept the loss of my baby girl and best friend.

“We respectfully request that we are allowed to grieve in private as a family at this difficult time.”

Officers were called to Green Street in Hereford shortly after 5am on Sunday 17 July, following a report of a concern for safety. On arrival it was found that Charlotte had sustained unexplained injuries and sadly she was pronounced dead at the scene.

A 21-year-old man was arrested on suspicion of murder but has since been released on police bail as police investiations continue.
