Family pay tribute to mother found dead at house

Loved ones have paid tribute to a mother-of-five who was found dead at a house in Staffordshire.

Natasha Callan, 48, was discovered at a property in Main Street, Stonnall, at 07:50 GMT on Tuesday.

A 53-year-old man from the Lichfield area was arrested on suspicion of murder and has been released on "strict conditional bail" as inquiries continue, Staffordshire Police said.

A family statement said: "Your memory will always live on in the hearts of your family."

The tribute released by police, added: "The picture you see is that of a young woman.

"What the picture doesn't show you is that she was the baby of our family, a little sister to her six siblings, an aunt to her many nieces and nephews and most importantly a mother-of-five.

"Looking at her picture, you will not hear her loud laugh or feel the warmth of her big hugs or feel the clasp of her hand over yours, but she was all these things and more, and we will forever miss her."

Specialist officers had been supporting the family, the Staffordshire force added.
