“Heaven may have gained an angel but we have lost you and that for us seems like the most unjust act to happen.

“We as a family would like to thank every single person who showed enough heart and love to look for our precious angel. Words will never describe how much this means.

“For now our beautiful angel. We love you so much.”

Meanwhile, Matthew Fisher, 29, of Walton Park Street, Castleford, has been charged with Abi’s murder.

He has been remanded in custody and is due to appear at Leeds Magistrates’ Court this morning.
