Stab victim had 'genuine heart of gold', say family

Police and paramedics gave Rebekah Campbell treatment before she was taken to hospital

A woman who died after being stabbed in a tower block had a "genuine heart of gold", her family have said.

Rebekah Campbell was found badly injured at Knowsley Heights in Huyton, at about 22:30 BST on Tuesday.

Merseyside Police said the 32-year-old later died in hospital.

The force said 34-year-old Michael Ormandy, of Linacre Road in Litherland, has been charged with her murder and remanded into custody.

In a tribute, her family said: "Rebekah was our everything."

They added: "She was a happy young woman with her whole life ahead of her and had a genuine heart of gold, if it meant putting herself out to help someone, she wouldn't hesitate.

"We are so proud of her. She was a support for vulnerable people and would use her own experiences to make other lives better.

"We are so grateful for all the messages of condolences, and we didn't realise how many people's lives Rebekah had touched, which just reiterates to us how special she was."

Mr Ormandy is due to appear at Liverpool Magistrates' Court on Saturday.

Police said they were not looking for anyone else in connection with the incident but appealed for anyone with information to come forward.
