Emotional words from family of murdered woman...
A statement by the family of Anita Anderson, whose body was found in the River Welland at the weekend have released a statement through Lincolnshire Police:
Words cannot describe our loss. We can't believe that Anita has been taken from us.Police have made three arrests in their investigation of Anita who lived at Kirton near Boston.
Every day is a painful reminder that we are never going to see her
again. We remember Anita as a friendly, caring and exceptionally loving individual who had time for everyone, her family, friends and work colleagues.
We are still in shock that Anita has been taken from us. Without the support of close friends, we don't know how we would have coped in the last few days.
We want to thank them for their words of comfort and for their cards.

Body in river was clothed...
Police say the body discovered in the River Welland over the weekend was found clothed - unlike the three women found murdered in Suffolk.
While police have not ruled out the possibility of a link to the murders of three prostitutes in Ipswich, Suffolk, it is thought most unlikely that there is a connection.
The woman found in the Welland between Deeping St James and Crowland on Saturday has still not been identified and police won't yet say how she died. They have confirmed that she is of white European appearance.
The Peterborough Evening Telegraph say she is believed to be in her 30s and BBC Radio Lincolnshire says she is said to be "at least 30".
Det Supt Roger Bannister told the BBC that the result of the post-mortem examination and the woman's injuries "lead me to think that the death is suspicious".
It is understood that no form of identification was found on the body, although some possessions have been recovered.
The ET reports that police are looking at a possible link between the murder and the discovery of a burned out car nearby on the banks of the river.
It is possible the was already dead before being transported to the river by vehicle. A sexual motive for the crime has not been ruled out.
Police divers have made a search of the river and recovered a nunber of items including a firearm, although police are not linking it to the investigation.
