‘Her charming nature always sought out the best in everyone and everything. Her bubbly though occasionally shy personality highlighted her passion for animals, creativity, music and art.
‘She had the most infectious smile and a laugh that could brighten up even the darkest of days. Losing her will forever leave a void in our family that will never be filled as she really was one of life’s true blessings and she will be missed beyond words.’
Tailby is now in police custody and will stand trial on July 29.
