A grieving family paid tribute to their "beautiful and bubbly" Tina after her death last week.
Ms Bennett, 47, of Keeble Way, Braintree was found at her home with multiple stab wounds on Easter Sunday.
Her family said their world had been ripped apart and that there would always be a big void without her.
Friends filled her Facebook page with tributes and flowers and messages were left outside her home.
See this week's Braintree and Witham Times for the full story.
