THE FAMILY of murdered Jeanette Goodwin have released a photograph of her taken in happier times.

The body of Mrs Goodwin, 47, was discovered by police at a house in Quebec Avenue, Southend, at about 7.40pm last Sunday.

The mother-of-three was rushed to Southend Hospital, but later died. A postmortem revealed she had suffered multiple stab wounds.

Her ex-boyfriend, Martin Bunch, 43, of Southchurch Road, Southend, has been charged with her murder and is due to appear at Chelmsford Court in September to enter a plea.
