An 85-year-old woman found dead at her home after a “cowardly assault” has been described as “incredible” and “always happy”.

Rosina Coleman was discovered by a handyman at her home of about 50 years in Romford, east London, at about 11:30am on Tuesday.

The former seamstress was a mother of two and had lived on the road for decades.
