West Midlands Police confirmed a man has been charged with manslaughter, two counts of controlling and coercive behaviour and three counts of assault following the death of 24-year-old Georgina Ward.
He has also been charged with a further six counts of assault and one count of controlling and coercive behaviour in relation to a further three women.
He is due to appear at Dudley Magistrates’ Court tomorrow, October 16.
In tribute to Georgina, her family said: “Georgina was a remarkable young woman. A daughter, granddaughter, sister and friend who brought laughter and light into the lives of those she touched.
“She was a brilliant, creative and talented tattoo artist with a promising future and career in the industry, whose artwork is now a lasting legacy.
“Georgina loved deeply and unconditionally, putting the needs of others above her own. Her capacity for empathy, and compassion towards people, animals and those less fortunate, was immeasurable. She was a protector, a voice for the voiceless, and a beacon of love in a world that often forgets the importance of kindness.
“Georgina will be forever remembered and loved for her funny, caring nature and being unapologetically herself.
“Our lives have been changed irrevocably by her loss, and is missed beyond measure, which is an absolute testament to the person she was. Beautiful, inside and out.”
