Victoria Woodhall: Man in court over healthcare worker's stab death | |
(about 4 hours later) | |
A 40-year-old man has appeared in court charged with murdering a healthcare worker who was stabbed to death. | |
Mother-of-three Victoria Woodhall, 31, who worked at Rotherham General Hospital, was attacked on Windsor Crescent, Barnsley, on Sunday afternoon. | |
Craig Woodhall, formerly of Windsor Crescent, appeared before Doncaster Magistrates' Court on Tuesday. | |
He was remanded in custody to appear at Sheffield Crown Court on Thursday. | |
South Yorkshire Police said a post-mortem concluded that Ms Woodhall's cause of death was multiple stab wounds. | |
"While formal identification is yet to take place, the woman's family is receiving support from specially trained officers," a spokesman said. | |
Tributes have been paid Ms Woodhall and a GoFundMe page has been set up by her friends, Donna Wetherall and Kelly Sims, to raise money towards funeral costs and to help her children. | |
They said Ms Woodhall was an operating department practitioner, who was "always helping others" and "lived for her children". | |
The page raised more than £5,000 in 24 hours and the pair who set it up said: "Thank you to all that donated, we are overwhelmed by the response. Vicky would truly be amazed." | |
