The family of a 93-year-old widow whose death has prompted a murder investigation have described her as a "much loved and adored" mother, grandmother and great-grandmother.

Judy Zussman was found dead at a house on Altrincham Road in Gatley, Stockport, shortly after 09:30 BST on Wednesday, said Greater Manchester Police (GMP).

The force said a 39-year-old woman initially arrested on suspicion of murder had since been detained under the Mental Health Act.

Mrs Zussman's family said they were "extremely grateful for the outpouring of support at this tragic time".

In a statement, the family said: "Judy was a much loved and devoted wife to her late husband Jack, and an adored sister, mother, grandmother, and great-grandmother.

"Her family meant the world to her."

GMP said it had referred itself to the Independent Office of Police Conduct because its officers had previous contact with Mrs Zussman.
