A mum whose death led to a murder investigation had "a heart full of love and kindness". Angela Shellis, 45, was found dead in Prestatyn last week.
Angela's son Tristan Thomas Roberts, aged 18, of Coniston Drive, Prestatyn, has been charged with her murder and appeared at Mold Crown Court today. A trial is scheduled to take place next year.

"Any remaining money we would like to donate to a charity for mental health and autism. If you're unable to donate, please consider sharing this page to help us reach others who may want to support.
