A family in deep sorrow has honored a mother who was discovered deceased in an apartment, prompting a homicide investigation.
Karlie Sone, aged 28, was found unresponsive early Tuesday and passed away shortly thereafter in an Ipswich, Suffolk flat. Authorities responded to a call at 1:10 am from an individual expressing concern for Ms. Sone’s well-being. Following the discovery, Paul Stevenson, aged 39, was apprehended and charged with her murder.
The exact cause of Ms. Sone’s passing remains undisclosed. Her family expressed profound devastation at the loss of their cherished Karlie, highlighting the irreplaceable void left in their hearts, especially for her two daughters. Describing Karlie as a beautiful and caring soul who brought light and laughter wherever she went, the family emphasized her love for family, friends, and her passion for music.
Ms. Sone, who worked as a receptionist at Goals Ipswich football center, will always be remembered by her family, who vowed to keep her alive in their thoughts and memories. They mentioned that her daughters will be cherished as she would have wanted, despite the heartbreak of her absence.
Stevenson, who has not yet entered a plea, appeared in Ipswich Crown Court, scheduling a trial for September 24. A pre-trial hearing is set for May.

A post-mortem examination indicated that further investigation was necessary to determine the cause of her death. In response, Karlie’s family initiated a GoFundMe campaign to cover her funeral expenses and provide support for her daughters.
The family’s appeal expressed profound grief over the sudden loss of Karlie, emphasizing her role as a devoted mother to her two young girls. They acknowledged the significant impact on the daughters, mother, and sisters as they navigate life without Karlie’s love and care. The family concluded with a heartfelt tribute, keeping Karlie forever in their hearts.
