The family of a woman who was killed in Chester at the weekend have paid tribute.

Stephanie Blundell, 41, was pronounced dead following an incident at an address on Canal Street, Chester, on Sunday 20 July.

Her family are being supported by specialist officers and have now issued a tribute.

They said: "After making a life for herself back home in Chester in the last few years, our beloved Steph was cruelly and unfairly taken from us on Sunday 20 July 2025.

"Whilst the void in all our lives will never be filled, you'll stay in our hearts forever and never be forgotten.

"We will never let what has happened define you or be your lasting legacy.

"We will instead always remember you as the fun loving, caring and beautiful girl. A loving daughter, sister, aunty and friend always."

Stephanie's family have asked that their privacy be respected at this difficult time.
