Murdered woman found in street was mum of four

A woman found fatally injured in a street was a mother of four who was "passionate about her children", her family said.

Tania Williams, 49, was declared dead at the scene after emergency services were called to Catherine Gardens, Thorpe St Andrew, near Norwich, at 23:45 GMT on Saturday.

Her ex-partner, Raymond Williams, 61, was charged with murder and on Thursday was remanded in custody at Norwich Crown Court.

"Tania was undoubtedly beautiful, she was honest but mostly was always giving to others, the list about her bubbly personality truly goes on," a family tribute said.

"Our family wants to continue to honour her and her generous nature even in her passing, which stems from deep rooted faith and kindness.

"Even though her life was cut short; she still lived a full life - leaving many beautiful memories with her children and family behind.

"Her children want to keep their memories of her alive by honouring her passions and fulfil any dreams she didn't get to do here on earth."

Williams was arrested in Dereham Road, Norwich, on Sunday morning and on Tuesday was charged with murder.

Earlier, he appeared at court via video link and spoke only to confirm his name. He faces a plea hearing on 27 February, with a provisional trial date set for July.
