Earlier today Marcia's family paid tribute to her. They said: "Marcia was a warm, loving and dedicated wife, mother, grandmother, sister and friend and a pillar of her community.

"Her loss has already sent shockwaves through all who knew her or was lucky enough to be included in her orbit. We ask for privacy at this time while further investigations are underway and the Family try to come to terms with this enormous loss.”

The boy, who cannot be identified for legal reasons, has been charged with murder and will appear before Sheffield Youth Court tomorrow (8 April).
