A man charged with the murder of Rebekah Campbell will appear in court this afternoon. Michael Ormandy, 34, is charged with the murder of Ms Campbell, who died after suffering stab wounds
inside a flat at Knowsley Heights in Huyton at around 10.30pm on Tuesday, April 15. Officers who attended the scene administered first aid to Ms Campbell, 32, until paramedics arrived, but
she died later of her injuries in hospital. Ormandy, of Linacre Road in Litherland, was arrested on the same evening and charged with murder two days later. He appeared at Liverpool
Magistrates' Court on Saturday, April 19 for his first appearance. He spoke only to confirm his address and his date of birth. He was not asked to enter a plea because, due to the
severity of the charge, his case can only be dealt with at the crown court. In a statement issued through Merseyside Police, Ms Campbell's family said: "She was a happy young woman
with her whole life ahead of her and had a genuine heart of gold. If it meant putting herself out to help someone, she wouldn’t hesitate. "We are so proud of her. She was a support for
vulnerable people and would use her own experiences to make other lives better. We are so grateful for all the messages of condolences, and we didn’t realise how many people’s lives Rebekah
had touched, which just reiterates to us how special she was." We will be bringing you the latest updates from Liverpool Crown Court here.
