Jess's loved ones say her death has left them heartbroken. Her friend Jessica Taylor has set up a GoFundMe appeal in a bid to support Jess' young children.

She wrote: "Today I have found out that a young lady who I grew up with has been murdered she was only 32 years of age and two children have been left behind.

"I am just hoping that a little can be given to them to support them in life a little bit, no matter how big or small every little helps."

Angie Gale has also set up a Go Fund Me page in a bid to raise funds for her funeral. She wrote: "Let's give Jess the send off she deserves."

A Facebook group named 'In Loving Memory of Jess Edmunds' has been set up for people to pay tribute to the mum. Beth Butcher wrote: "When I went through a tough time when I was younger, you became my friend you were there for me. We had so many laughs and good times together."

She added: "Going to your aunty Donna's loads, sat on the field, playing music, staying over at mine loads when we grew up. I moved away but we still chatted now and again.

"We never lost sight of the friendship we had. I'll never ever forget you Jess, thankyou for
