She suffered multiple serious injuries and was taken by ambulance to Airedale General Hospital for emergency treatment but died.

Her husband, Malcolm, yesterday described the 30-year-old mother as "lovely and warm", and always having a smile on her face.

Hord appeared in the dock handcuffed and flanked by two security officers in a blue quilted t-shirt and grey quilted shorts.

He spoke only to confirm his name, date of birth and address during a three minute hearing.

He was remanded in custody and will appear at Leeds Crown Court on December 28.
