Following the verdict Obiefuleh’s family released a tribute, describing her as “kind, intelligent, and resourceful” and a “caring and deeply loving mother, sister, aunt, and friend to many”.
“She was a devoted mother and beautiful in every sense of the word,” the statement said.
“Someone we love has been cruelly taken from us, and it has changed our lives forever.
“We have lost a truly beautiful soul. Her bright light has been cruelly dimmed, and we are left shaken, heartbroken, and still trying to process the grief and shock of losing Frances.”
