Woman found dead was 'beautiful inside and out'

A woman found dead in a house in Hampshire "embraced life with an open heart", her family has said.

Alison Luker, 58, died at a house in Frobisher Grove, Fareham, on Monday 20 October.

In a tribute, her family said she had "friends scattered across the world" and described her as "adventurous, compassionate, kind, and truly beautiful inside and out".

A 43-year-old man from Fareham held on suspicion of murder and for unlawful act manslaughter has been released on bail until 18 January while inquiries continue.

Police were called to the property shortly before noon following a report that a woman had died.

Her family, who are being supported by specially trained officers, said in a statement: "Our Alison... found joy in exploring new places, dancing with a glass of bubbles in hand, and celebrating every moment.

"But above all, she adored her daughters and young granddaughters.

"They were the light of her life and losing her so suddenly and tragically has left a hole in our hearts that can never be filled."

Anyone with information about the incident is urged to contact Hampshire and Isle of Wight Constabulary.
