A Sunderland shop manager has described Michelle Hanson as "chirpy and cheerful", as an investigation into her murder continues.
Michelle Hanson was found dead at a home in Brady Street in Pallion, Sunderland on December 3 and a murder investigation was subsequently launched. A Northumbria Police inquiry remains ongoing and the force is still attempting to trace suspect Alexander Carr following the discovery of the 47-year-old's body.
It has since been confirmed that 32-year-old Carr is a student at the University of Sunderland and fellow classmates of his recently received an email offering support services. A fortnight on from Michelle's death, those who remember her have spoken about her happy personality.
