Murdered woman’s family pay tribute

The family of a woman, who was murdered in her home, have paid tribute to her.

Concerns for her welfare resulted in police being called to Gwyneth Carter’s home, in Pearson Street, Macclesfield, at around 6:45 pm on Friday 18 July.

Officers and paramedics attended, and found Gwyneth, 72, who was sadly pronounced dead at the scene.

A Home Office Post Mortem concluded cause of death was from multiple injuries to the head and neck.

A 49-year-old man has been arrested and remains in custody at this time.

Gwyneth was originally from Bollington but subsequently moved to her Pearson Street home.

Her family said: “‘She was a hardworking, strong lady with a laugh you could not forget.

“She was well known years ago for playing darts for a local team, she was competitive and always up for a good time.

“She was stubborn, known for always standing her ground and protective of those she loved. In recent years she found comfort and companionship with her beloved dog, Oscar.”
