'Tami you were truly a special soul, loving, caring, generous, honest – and adored by everyone who met you.'
'Our TikTok star. My creative director, and most importantly, my baby sister.'

Tamilore was brutally murdered in her Texas flat.
Officers were called to the scene after a friend of her dad's raised the alarm when they couldn't get hold of her.
Blood was spotted on the rear patio, and cops broke into the two-bed flat.
A man, believed to be her flatmate, was discovered in a bedroom with stab wounds and rushed to hospital in a critical condition.
The two were said to be "complete strangers" and had only started living together a few weeks earlier, the Daily Mail reports.
The Houston Police Department confirmed in a statement: 'Officers were called to a residence at the above apartment complex for a welfare check.'

Man and woman mauled by ‘Bully-type dog' in horror attack at home as cops seize three pets
DOG ATTACK Man and woman mauled by 'Bully-type dog' in horror attack at home as cops seize three pets Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) A MAN and a woman were mauled by a "Bully-type dog" in a horror attack at a home — with police confirming they have seized three dogs from the scene. The man, in his 30s, and the woman, in her 20s, suffered serious injuries after a horrific dog attack in Blackpool on Havelock Street, at 2.38am on June 15. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up Both individuals were rushed to hospital, where they are currently receiving treatment. Police have seized the bully-type dog involved in the vicious attack, along with two other dogs that were at the scene. It comes after a "monster" seven-and-a-half stone XL Bully mauled three young girls, dragging one across the floor and biting her down to the bone. Mum Victoria Hewitt was at home with her two children, aged eight and four, as well as an 11-year-old friend of the kids when family pet Karma suddenly flipped. A knock at the door resulted in the dog acting in a "very aggressive and violent way" and she "went" for the eight-year-old, a court heard. During the incident in Costessey, Norfolk, Hewitt, 42, tried to distract the animal with some ham but it didn't work, prosecutor Chris Youell said. Instead, Karma began attacking the child as the other two screamed, before it targeted them too, reports Eastern Daily Press. The girls ran for the door and were all bitten before Hewitt managed to wrestle the dog away. The eight-year-old managed to flee upstairs with her toddler brother, aged two, who was in his cot during the attack on March 7 last year. A neighbour helped Hewitt restrain Karma and held her on the floor, telling everyone to get out. When cops arrived on the scene, the mum screamed at them to "shoot the dog". The three girls suffered bite and puncture wounds which needed medical treatment. The eight-year-old had "significant" injuries, including a deep wound down to the bone on her arm, the court heard. The dog had previously belonged to an ex partner of Hewitt's who had left it with her. Which dog breeds are banned in the UK?

British law determines five breeds of dog are illegal to own, breed, sell or give away.

Sir Mo Farah's real name and family after Team GB ace's 30-year secret was outed
Sir Mo Farah will always be known for his incredible performances at the London 2012 Olympic Games, but he shocked the world in 2022 for a completely different reason Sir Mo Farah's name will always be mentioned as one of Team GB's all-time legends at the Olympic Games. He won two gold medals in London in 2012 and two more at the Rio De Janeiro games four years later, captivating the sporting world on his way to a knighthood in 2017, where Queen Elizabeth II made him a Sir. He will be wearing an England shirt with 'Farah' emblazoned on the back when he steps onto the Old Trafford pitch for Soccer Aid this weekend. Yet, the name on the Three Lions shirt, the name that was pinned onto his running vest and the name next to his many records is not really his. In 2022, as part of the eye-opening BBC documentary 'The Real Mo Farah', the athlete revealed his name was not 'Mo Farah' and that he had been living under somebody else's identity. Farah, 42, revealed his real name was Hussein Abdi Kahin. When he was only four years old, Farah, who was originally from Somaliland, lost his father, who was killed while tending to his cattle by a piece of shrapnel from a bazooka blast during Somalia's civil war. After being sent to neighbouring Djibouti for his safety, Farah would eventually be illegally trafficked into the United Kingdom. A woman, whose identity is still unknown, pretended to be his mother and brought him to the UK under the premise that he would be staying with family. He was instructed to come into the country under the name Mo Farah - who was a different child - and was handed illegal documents. This dangerous process went through while he was only nine years old. He realised he had taken someone else's place at the airport when he saw a man wondering why his child had not arrived. When he got to the woman's flat, she tore up a piece of paper with his family's contact details on it and ordered him to look after the children of another family. He told the BBC: "If I wanted food in my mouth, my job was to look after those kids, shower them, cook for them, clean for them. She said, 'If you ever wanna see your family again, don't say anything.' Often I would just lock myself in the bathroom and cry." At the age of 11, Farah enrolled into Feltham Community College. Teachers and other staff at the school were told he was a refugee from Somalia. His form tutor Sarah Rennie said Farah was, "unkempt and uncared for" and "emotionally and culturally alienated," largely due to the lack of English he spoke. It was during PE lessons when the teachers realised he was an athletics prodigy. Alan Watkinson, Farah's PE teacher, said: "The only language he seemed to understand was the language of PE and sport." Watkinson would go on to contact social services who managed to find another family from Somalia to foster him. Mr Watkinson helped him gain British citizenship under the name Mohamed Farah, which was granted in 2000. From that point onwards, Farah developed as a person and an athlete, going on to become a four-time Olympic gold medallist and a six-time world champion. When Farah was sent away, he had to leave his mother Aisha and two brothers, who all live on a farm in Somaliland. Farah met his now-wife Tania Nell while at university in West London. Together they have four children, Rhianna, Hussein Mo, Amani and Aisha Farah. Incredibly, in the documentary, Farah also met the real Mohamed Farah over a video call. However, The Sun claimed the athlete had to break contact with him and change his phone number, after he was allegedly hounded for money by the man and around ten others who had got hold of his number.

Brit 'drug mule' Charlotte May Lee facing months in jail without bail
Ms Lee, who denies the allegations, 'doesn't know what happened' as she waits for Thai authorities to determine whether the substance they found was, in fact, cannabis The lawyer representing alleged drug mule Charlotte May Lee has claimed the Brit is facing several months behind bars without the prospect of bail. Ms Lee, 21, was arrested by Sri Lankan authorities in May after she was allegedly caught with a £1.2 million, 46 kilogram stash of cannabis stuffed into her suitcases after arriving on a flight from Thailand. The part time beautician from South London is yet to be formally charged for her alleged crimes, and is languishing in a prison in Negombo, a city on the country's west coast. Her lawyer has told a court hearing shw faces months at the jail without movement on her case as investigators are "taking time". Sampath Parera told The Sun progress has stalled in the bid to release the former flight attendant on bail, as police attached to her case are investigating the "highest amount of cannabis seized at the airport", and this will take time. He said: "It is taking time because it is the highest amount of cannabis seized at the airport and I am speculating that investigating agencies are taking time to investigate." Mr Parera added that her bail will likely take time to arrange, but that he has demanded relevant government authorities to decide whether illegal substances were found. The lawyer said he made the application on the first day she came before the court, adding that Ms Lee and her legal team are yet to discover whether there "actually is cannabis". He continued: "I made an application on the very first day when she was produced at the court to produce those alleged cannabis to the government analysis department, or the authorities to get a report. It's pending, so they have to come up with the report. We still don't know the exact weight of this and we still don't know that actually there is cannabis." Mr Parera added it wouldn't be known whether there is actual cannabis involved before investigators return their analyses, adding: "You can't just say that there is cannabis without testing." Overall, the lawyer estimated the entire process could "take about one month, or one and a half months", during which time Ms Lee will remain behind bars. She told the BBC she has spent most of the day inside the Negombo prison while occasionally venturing outside for fresh air. While she is "not trying to think" about her predicament, she said the heat has been intense, and that she has been sitting on a concrete floor "all of the time". She said: "I have never been to prison and I've never been to Sri Lanka. This heat and just sitting on a concrete floor all of the time." Ms Lee denies the allegations against her and "doesn't know what happened", her lawyer has said.
