She worked for a charity that she co-founded called Mama Suze CIC, that supported refugee and migrant women, some who had fled domestic violence, with art and drama activities.

A 44-year-old man has been arrested on suspicion of murder, and has been taken to hospital to be treated for slash wounds.

Police said it is believed Ms Rook’s death is “a domestic-related incident”.
