Cherylee's family "torn apart and tormented"

In a statement released by Lancashire Police, the family of Cherylee Shennan said:

"Our family has been torn apart and tormented by this tragedy and our lives will never be the same again.

"Cherylee will always be loved and we will hold cherished memories forever in our hearts.

"She will never be forgotten by her family, friends and all that knew her."

– Shennan family statement

The family said Cherylee was a "precious and much-loved" mum, daughter to Betty and Tommy and special step-daughter to Karen and Johnny, sister to Chiyvonne, Ellen, Jordan, Declan and Toni and special aunty to Keilan.

She was a life-long partner to Graham and adoring owner of her five beloved Akita dogs Chan, Diva, Billy, Trooper and Mia.

She was easy to get along with and used to be laughing all the time, everything was a joke even when she used her family as guinea pigs for her potions at her beauty salon, she was very clever and owned her own businesses, a beauty salon and furniture shop.

"She loved to experiment with cooking and was famous for her cheesecake and bonfire night food which was fabulous.

"Everyone would go to Chez when they had a problem or anything and wanted guidance and she was always there, now this has been taken away from us all."
