Tributes have been paid to the British mum-of-three stabbed to death at her home in Spain yesterday. The victim was named today as Victoria Hart, with one commenting: “RIP Victoria Hart. This is devastating news.”

“My prayers are with the family at this terrible time.” Another friend, Elaine Mawer, added in a message to a relative of Victoria’s believed to be her mum, said: “I am heartbroken. This should never have happened.”

“Them poor children. Deepest condolences to Sue Hart and all the family. Victoria will be very sadly missed.”

Joanne Wilson wrote: “There’s no words in this world that could describe a beautiful person, a great mother, a great friend. Victoria Hart you will be missed.

“My heart is broken and I still can’t believe it. RIP my angel. I will miss you more than anyone in this world would think.

“Sending my love to the kids’ mum, Sue and Gemma and all your family.

“There’s not many people as perfect as Victoria Hart.”

Donna Hancock said on social media: “Let’s stand together for Victoria Hart and her family. RIP angel taken too soon.”

Local reports said Victoria’s eldest child, an 11-year-old boy who has two twin sisters aged seven, ran into the garden of the residential estate in Alhuarin el Grande where they lived a 50-minute drive inland from Marbella and asked for help after their mum was attacked.

A spokesman for the Civil Guard in Malaga said yesterday, as news of the 11.30am fatal stabbing at the expat victim’s home started emerging: “The Civil Guard is investigating the death of a woman in Alhaurin el Grande.

“Her ex-partner has been arrested as the alleged killer.”
