mom found ‘stabbed to death in Lidl car park’

A woman whose husband was arrested after she was allegedly found stabbed to death in her car in a Lidl car park has been hailed as an "angel".

Detectives are quizzing Gillian Zvomuya's husband on suspicion of murder after he was found sitting next to her body in the car early this morning at the supermarket.

One of Gillian's friend posted on Facebook: "l am still in shock. "I can't believe u are gone. Why, why, what about the kids? "May you (sic) soul rest in peace my friend. God has taken one of his angel. What a way to die."

Another friend posted on Facebook: "RIP Gillian...gone so soon ...so shocked and hurt."mThe 42-year-old suspect was found sitting next to his dead wife outside the store in Tile Cross, Birmingham.

Police said the woman, who has not been named, was attacked with a “bladed weapon” and pronounced dead at the scene.

Officers were searching for the couple after they were reported missing from their home in Quinton by friends at 2am.

Their car was eventually traced 11 miles away to the Lidl car park - where police made the grim discovery at 4.45am.

Det Chief Insp Paul Joyce, from West Midlands Police, said: “We found a man and a woman inside. “Tragically the woman was pronounced dead at the scene and the man was arrested on suspicion of her murder.

“While her identity is yet to be confirmed, at this stage we believe her to be the arrested man’s wife.” A blue and white police tent was erected over the couple’s car today and the Lidl store remained closed. Detectives also examined the couple’s home and spoke to neighbours and obtained CCTV footage.
