Tributes to woman at centre of Manchester murder probe

Amber O’Brien, 33, died after an incident on Broadmoss Drive in Blackley, North Manchester last week on Sunday April 19.

A murder investigation was launched in the wake of Ms O’Brien’s death and her family have now released a tribute describing her as a “devoted daughter and sister”.

A statement from Ms O’Brien’s family said: “We are deeply saddened by the loss of Amber. Her passing has left us devastated, and she will be fondly remembered by all who had the privilege of knowing her.

“Amber was known for her warm smile and her natural ability to lift others up. She had a truly kind heart and made everyone around her feel valued and appreciated.

“She was a devoted daughter and sister, and a beautiful soul whose bright spirit brought joy, laughter, and comfort wherever she went.

“Our hearts are broken. Amber’s memory will live on with us forever.”

Earlier this week, Greater Manchester Police announced that Stephan Garner, 31 of Somerton Court, Blackley was charged with Ms O’Brien’s murder.

He remains remanded in custody ahead of a further court appearance.
