They said: "Nicola was the life and soul of the family. Full of colour and vibrant, a loving mother to two children and a caring sister and auntie. Life is not going to be the same without her."

Nicola's son added that the 33-year-old, who lived in Monument View in Brighton, was a 'joyful, kind-hearted and beautiful mother who will be greatly missed'.

Sussex Police said a 52-year-old man was arrested on suspicion of murder as part of an investigation by the Surrey and Sussex Major Crime Team.

Nicola and the suspect were known to each other, police said, and the incident has been referred to the Independent Office for Police Conduct as the pair had recently been in contact with police.
