Tributes paid to Cottingley woman Tracy Davenport

Tributes have been paid to a Leeds woman whose death is being investigated by the Homicide and Major Enquiry Team.

Tracy Davenport has been described as someone who lit up any room she walked into in a tribute released by her family.

The full tribute reads:

“A tribute to the most beautiful, kind, caring mother, sister, aunty, nana, niece and daughter.

“Tracy would help anybody and put everybody before herself, she would give you her last penny. Tracy lit up any room she walked into.

“A beautiful woman took too soon in the most horrific, unspeakable manor.

“Tracy, aka mum, you will be forever loved and missed forever more. There are no words to describe the void that this tragedy has left and can never again be filled.

“Love you always Alison, Adian and family.”

The 58-year-old’s body was found by police officers in a flat in Cottingley Towers, Leeds, in the early hours of Saturday morning following a concern for safety call.

It was confirmed on Monday that Colin Mann, aged 52 of Cottingley Towers, Leeds, has been charged with Tracy’s murder.
