THIS is the first picture of a mum-of-six allegedly found murdered at home on New Year’s Eve.

Stacey Cooper was found at a house in Redcar, Cleveland, on Tuesday.

A 27-year-old man has today appeared in court charged with the 34-year-old’s murder.

Liam Murray was remanded in custody after his hearing at Teesside Magistrates’ Court.

Cleveland Police said Ms Cooper’s family are being supported by specially trained officers.

A friend of the mum, Laura Wright, has set up an online GoFundMe appeal to help the family.

She said Ms Cooper has been “tragically and horribly lost”, and her death has left six children without their mother.

She wrote: “Without their mother they are in need of support and we would appreciate monetary donations to help with funeral costs and support for the children.

“To lose my best friend is hard for me but for children to be without their mother is unbearable.”

It comes as a mum-of-three was murdered alongside her new lover as they celebrated New Year’s Eve just months after she left her husband.

Helen Almey, 39, and her new partner were slain at the home she had shared with her headteacher ex in Duffield, Derbyshire.

Shocked neighbours heard someone yell: “They’re dead! They’re dead! What have you f******g done?” at about 3am.
