Danielle Richardson: Tributes to 'loving and caring' mother found stabbed to death

The family of a woman who was found stabbed to death in a flat in Manchester have paid tribute to her as a loving and caring mother, sister, daughter and auntie.

Police were called to the Ancoats area of the city on Tuesday morning after reports that a man had jumped from the second storey of a block of flats, landing on a car, and assaulting three members of the public.

They entered a flat on Swan Street and found the body of 24-year-old Danielle Richardson.

Paying tribute to Danielle, her family said: “Dannii was a loving and caring mother, sister, daughter and auntie."

“She had a heart of gold and would help anyone who needed it. She worked briefly as a carer in an elderly care home and she was much loved by many of the residents.

“There isn’t anyone that would have a bad word to say about Dannii. It’s broken everyone’s hearts that she was taken from us so soon.

“We know she will be watching over us and will always be in our hearts.”

A 37-year-old man was arrested on suspicion of murder. He remains under arrest and is currently receiving treatment in hospital.
