Husband of murder victim Alena Grlakova says mother of four will be 'greatly missed'

He described his 38-year-old wife, who lived in Swinton, as a “mother to four wonderful children” who would be “greatly missed by all her family”.

The body of Mrs Grlakova was found by a police search team “naked and concealed” in a dried up stream in Taylor's Lane, Parkgate - just yards from where she was last seen on Boxing Day

Mrs Grlakova, who moved with her family to Rotherham in 2008, was separated from her husband but he and their teenage children still live in the town.

Mr Grlak said: “She came to Rotherham for a better life and education for her children. 

"She separated from her family which lead to her leading a more chaotic and transient life. Although this happened she was still a mother to four wonderful children and she will be greatly missed by all her family.

“We ask if anyone has any information to please contact the police as all the family are trying to understand what has happened to her.”
