"She was the nicest person you could meet, softly spoken with a lovely manner. In all the years I knew her, I never heard her once raise her voice or speak harshly to someone. She would help you anyway she could. She was the best neighbour and I'll miss her so much, I've been in tears a lot since yesterday."
"Neighbours said mother-of-three Mrs Clayton - who had at least two grandchildren - had lived in the street for more than 25 years. She moved in with her second husband but he died a few months later and she lived mostly by herself, the Mail reported. Mrs Clayton, originally from Trinidad and Tobago in the Caribbean, is said to have had two sons from her first marriage, Richard and his older brother Peter, who died when he was just 18."

Richard Clayton, 44, was arrested at the property and taken into custody. He appeared at Barkingside Magistrates' Court on Thursday where he was remanded into custody ahead of his second court appearance at the Old Bailey on Monday."
