A man, 25, has been charged with murder after the “much-loved” grandmother Kelly Pitt, 44, was found dead at her Newport home.
Lewis Bush, 25, is charged with the murder of Miss Pitt at her home in Newport, Gwent.
Bush, of Moorland Park, Newport, was remanded in custody by Newport magistrates to appear in crown court tomorrow.
Her family paid tribute to a “lovely person inside and out”.
The family said: “Kelly was a much-loved granddaughter, daughter, sister, mother and grandmother. She was a loving, caring mother and a devoted nan.
“She was an all-round beautiful soul, a lovely person inside and out. She was kind, thoughtful, funny and would help anyone.
“Kelly was taken far too soon and we are devastated by what has happened, she was taken in such a painful way which we will never be able to come to terms with.
“We would like to thank the emergency services for such a quick response and the police for supporting us during this difficult time.”
