Police were called to the scene by paramedics where they found Louisa unresponsive having suffered "multiple injuries". She died a short time later.

Detectives from West Yorkshire Police Homicide and Major Enquiry Team launched a murder investigation following her death and say they have been “continuing to progress their enquiries”.  Francis, 59, of Kingston Terrace, Woodhouse, was arrested this year and charged in July.

He is due to stand trial at Leeds Crown Court on January 13 next year. He was remanded back into custody. He will appear in court again on December 11 for a case-management hearing.
