A vigil has taken place in memory of a pensioner killed in Co Antrim last week.
Alyson Nelson, 64, was found stabbed at a property in the Victoria Avenue area of Whitehead last Saturday.
A man has appeared in court charged with a new offence of murder aggravated by reason of causing domestic abuse over her death.
On Saturday, an estimated 300 people took part in a vigil for Ms Nelson in Whitehead.
White ribbons were tied to railings on the sea front in her memory.
During the vigil, a statement was read from Ms Nelson’s family, in which they said she had been “robbed of her life under the cruellest of circumstances”.
