The family of a woman found dead in a house in Nottinghamshire say they are “truly devastated” by the loss of their “beloved mother, daughter, sister, auntie and cousin”. Rachel McDaid, 53, was found dead at her home in Nottingham Road, Eastwood, last Friday morning. Her husband, Michael McDaid, 60, appeared in Nottingham magistrates court on Monday charged with her murder. Appearing in court wearing a grey T-shirt and jogging bottoms, McDaid spoke only to confirm his name, address and date of birth. He was also charged with possession of a class B drug. In a statement released by Nottinghamshire police, McDaid’s family paid tribute to McDaid, a mother of three. They said: “We are heartbroken over the loss of our beloved mother, daughter, sister, auntie and cousin. “Rachel has been taken from us suddenly and we are unable to come to terms with the fact we will never see her beautiful face and smile again. “As a family we were all so close, sharing jokes and precious time together, and the hole that has been left with the loss of Rachel is irreparable. “We are truly devastated.” Announcing the charge against McDaid on Sunday, DCI Clare Dean, of Nottinghamshire police, said: “As we announce this charge today, my thoughts remain with the family, who must be going through the worst pain imaginable. “Specially trained officers are in the process of providing them with support and this will continue during this difficult time.”
