A \u2018loving mother\u2019 who was found dead in a house in a Manchester<\/a> suburb has been named as Clare Burns.<\/p>\n

Leonard Lee Stewart, 55, of Queens Road, Manchester, has been arrested on suspicion of murder.<\/p>\n

Burns\u2019 family said they would \u2018miss her dearly\u2019, describing her as a \u2018loving mother, auntie, sister and daughter\u2019.<\/p>\n

\u2018She was funny, outgoing and a very independent person. She was also kind, generous and friendly to anyone she met,\u2019 they said. <\/p>\n

\u2018Clare would always light up the room she entered, and she was a brilliant friend to many.\u2019<\/p>\n
