Suspected murder victim was 'little girl full of smiles'
The Gazette
|September 23, 2025
THE devastated family of a two-year-old suspected murder victim have paid an emotional tribute to the little girl who loved dancing and was “always full of smiles”.
Isabelle Rose Welsh and, right, tributes on Hartington Drive
Isabelle Rose Welsh died after being taken to hospital following reports of concerns for her welfare.
Cleveland Police had attended Hartington Close, in Thornaby, at about 4.20pm on Saturday, September 13, and arrested a man and woman the following day.
Alexandra Walker, 25, and Harrison Simpson, 21, appeared in court last week accused of the two-year-old girl’s murder.
Providing a moving tribute, Isabelle Rose’s devastated family told the Gazette they wanted her picture to be shared on social media, rather than those accused of killing her.
Their tribute said Isabelle Rose was aged two “with a full life ahead off her.”
