The family of a 21-year-old woman who died at a flat in Derbyshire have said she will be “missed beyond words”. Derbyshire constabulary said officers were called to reports that a woman had been assaulted at a home in Greenhill Lane, Riddings, at shortly after 1pm on 18 February. Christine Everett-Hickson, better known as Chrissie, was taken to hospital and died in the early hours of the morning five days later. Kain Tailby, 30, has been charged with murder, the force said. Before her death, Tailby – who was arrested at the scene – was charged with attempted murder. Tributes from Everett-Hickson’s family described her as a “joyful, kind-hearted and affectionate” woman whose death would “leave a void in our family that will never be filled”. In a statement, the family said she would be “missed beyond words” and that she had “one of life’s purest hearts”. The statement said: “Her charming nature always sought out the best in everyone and everything. Her bubbly though occasionally shy personality highlighted her passion for animals, creativity, music and art. “She had the most infectious smile and a laugh that could brighten up even the darkest of days. “Losing her will for ever leave a void in our family that will never be filled as she really was one of life’s true blessings and she will be missed beyond words.” Tailby, from Riddings, is due to stand trial later this year.
