A mother who died after being found seriously injured at a house "lit up our world with love", her family said in a tribute.

Claire Orrey, 58, was confirmed dead after emergency services were called to reports of a disturbance in Telford, Shropshire, on Sunday at about 05:00 BST.

A man was also found with serious injuries on Burnell Road, Admaston.

Another man, 31, was arrested on suspicion of murder the same day.

He has since been detained under the Mental Health Act and is due to be transferred to a secure mental health facility, West Mercia Police said on Monday.

In a statement, Ms Orrey's daughter said: "My mom was the most wonderful mother, wife, daughter, and grandma, who lit up our world with love.

"She will forever be loved by us and will always be missed eternally."

Det Ch Insp Tony Garner said the matter was an "isolated incident and there is no wider risk to the public".

A police cordon remains at the scene while inquiries continue.
