The JustGiving page is aiming to raise £5,000 to cover the costs of the funeral and headstone and more than £9,000 £ has already been raised.

It was set up by Kendall Jarrett and Laura A'dore who posted a message alongside it. It reads: 'Kerri was well known in Norwich as a kind hearted, soft spoken crazy chick!

'She had a huge friend circle and loved by so many including her 2 young boys. She was cruelly murdered in her family home, and we want to take some of the stress away from the family with raising some money for her funeral costs and help with her two sons who luckily have a father who will be taking them on full time.

'We love you Kerri, rest in paradise xXx'
