Mary Francis Griffiths' Facebook page was flooded with condolence messages within 24 hours of her tragic murder in 2009.

Her brother Martin Ryan wrote: "To my little sister, I am in tears right now writing this. I love you so much, I didn't believe this was happening until I went on to your page. I will miss you so much."

Her sister Louise Scannell said the family were "inconsolable" and described Ms Griffiths as an angel.
