Woman 'taken too soon' as husband charged with murder
Family HandoutA family has paid tribute to their mother who they said "had many years ahead of her" after her husband was charged with her murder.
Annette Bishop, 71, was found seriously injured and pronounced dead at a property on Sherbourne Avenue in Bradley Stoke, Bristol, at about 14:00 BST on Friday.
Her husband, 73-year-old Gerald Bishop, of Sherbourne Avenue, has been charged with her murder and will go on trial at Bristol Crown Court on 5 April next year.
Annette's two children said they "remain in complete shock after losing [their] mother in such tragic circumstances", adding she will "be forever missed".
The family also expressed their gratitude to police officers and emergency responders for their "professionalism, swift response and ongoing support".
"We are also deeply grateful to all her friends and family for their overwhelming love and support," they continued.
"We remain in complete shock after losing our mother in such tragic circumstances. Our mother was taken from us far too soon.
"She had many years ahead of her - time that should have been spent creating memories with her children, grandchildren, friends, and family.
"She will be forever missed, and the void she leaves behind can never be filled.
"At this time, we respectfully ask for privacy as we continue to grieve and process this heartbreaking loss."
