DETECTIVES  have launched a murder investigation after a ‘loving mum’ was found dead at her home last week. 

Malak Adabzadeh, 47, was pronounced dead at the scene after officers were called to a property on Stoneycroft, Merseyside, on November 25. 

Officers are now appealing for anyone with information regarding her death to come forward. 

Four men, 57, 46 and  two aged 21 have been arrested in connection with her death and remain in custody. 

Iranian Malak, who was also known as Katy, has been described as a “loving mother” by her family. 

They paid tribute to her, saying: “Katy was a loving mother, lovely sister, wife and daughter. She was generous, kind and would always help anyone. 

“Katy will be missed terribly. As a family we ask for the community's support at this time to find out what has happened to our beloved Katy.”

Detective Superintendent Cheryl Rhodes said: “Members of Malak’s family are being supported by specialist officers after this tragic incident. 

“We offer our sincere condolences to all of those people affected by the terrible events of last Thursday, and will continue to update and support her family, friends and the wider community when we can. 

“At this early stage, we are keeping an open mind as to the motive, but one of those lines of enquiry is that it may have been for domestic or other cultural reasons.

“I’d appeal to anyone with information, whether from the Iranian community within Liverpool, or anyone who knew Malak, to come forward as a matter of urgency.

“Likewise if you live locally and saw heard or captured anything, let us know. If necessary, we have an interpreter and language line solutions to getting information to us, and work closely with partners including Liverpool Domestic Abuse Service on 0151 494 2222, Merseyside IDVA services, and Savera UK who can be contacted via 0800 107 0726. 

“I’d also ask that anyone with information only provides it in the following ways, and doesn’t comment on social media platforms as this can jeopardise our vital enquiries.”

Anyone with information on this incident can contact @MerPolCC, 101 or @CrimestoppersUK, anonymously on 0800 555 111 with reference 21000820292.

If someone is in immediate danger they should dial 999 and speak to an operator but we also accept that openly speaking is not always an option.

The Silent Solution is a service which means a vulnerable person can call 999 and alert us, by pressing ’55.’ This will indicate that help is needed and we will respond.
