Katelyn Parker: Family pay tribute to murdered woman

Date published: 17 August 2015


A woman who was found murdered in Heywood has been named as Katelyn Parker.  

Shortly after 3:50pm on Friday 14 August 2015, police found the body of 24-year-old Katelyn in a blue Nissan NX100 on River Street, Heywood.

Paying tribute, her family said: "Katelyn was a loving and special person. She saw the best in everybody and was happiest when spending time with her friends and family.

“Katelyn was a vibrant and sociable young woman with a big heart and an even bigger smile. She will leave a void in all our lives and her death under such tragic circumstances is something that we will never be able to come to terms with.”

A post-mortem examination was carried out to determine the cause of Katelyn’s death which has now been determined as ligature strangulation.

Anybody with information should contact police on 0161 856 9908 or the independent charity Crimestoppers, anonymously, on 0800 555 111.
