A FAMILY have paid tribute to a mother-of-seven who was found dead at a property in Coventry last week.
Pauline Sweeney, 50, was found with serious stab wounds at an address in Long Close Avenue on Wednesday, March 20 and died a short time later.
Her partner, 57-year-old William Brady, has been charged with murder and has been remanded into custody.
In a tribute issued through West Midlands Police on Tuesday, Ms Sweeney's family described her as 'a strong woman who wouldn't let anything bring her down'.
"Pauline Sweeney was our mother. She was the life and soul of every room she walked into," read the statement.
