A freshly married mother's body was discovered in a luggage just days after her wedding.
Dawn Walker had a small boy before her untimely death, and acquaintances regarded her as "friendly, generous, and attractive."
On Sunday, October 31, her bones were discovered in a grassy area behind some trees in the little community of Lightcliffe, near Halifax, Yorkshire.
On suspicion of murdering her, a 45-year-old local man has been arrested. He is still in police custody, and no other suspects have been identified in connection with Dawn's killing.
'She got married on Wednesday and died on Sunday morning,' a close friend claimed.
'Dawn was a sound woman,' She just got married on Wednesday, and now this.
'She was discovered in the back of some trees, inside a suitcase.' She'd done it before.
Shirley Grove (nearby) is where I've been living.
'Now a young boy is without a mother.' I believe he is one or one-and-a-half years old.'
Dawn, according to her buddy, was always willing to assist anyone in need.
'She was the most sound person you could meet,' claimed a friend. 'She was warm and generous.' When a disabled man was low on cash, she once paid for his groceries.'
Nunlea Royd neighbors have been devastated by the news. 'I am gobsmacked — there is no other word for it,' one elderly woman exclaimed. It's a disaster. I've been here for 40 years, and what's occurred is horrific.'
Detective Inspector Amanda Wimbles, of the Homicide and Major Enquiry Team, said: ‘Our enquiries into this incident are still at an early stage and we are particularly keen to speak with the person who initially called us to make the report as they have not yet identified themselves to us.’
