The family of British woman Sonia Exelby have paid an emotional tribute after the 32-year-old was found dead in Florida, describing her as a 'truly beautiful person' with 'the gentlest soul.'
Exelby, from Portsmouth, Hampshire, travelled to the US in October 2025 before her body was discovered in a shallow grave in Marion County days later. Her death was ruled a homicide, and a murder case against an American man remains before the courts ahead of a scheduled trial later this year.
