50-year-old Beautician, Clair Armstrong, has passed away

TRIBUTES have been given to a mother who died in a small-town community. The 50-year-old beautician passed away on Sunday in Messingham, North Lincolnshire, and was known locally as Clair Armstrong. Early in the morning, police were called to her address due to allegations of a disturbance.

On suspicion of murder, a 54-year-old male was detained and is still in detention. The mother, who also owned Oliver’s beauty parlor, was well-liked in the North Lincolnshire community.

One family member wrote online: “Rest in peace beautiful my heart is broken, can’t believe my beautiful cousin has gone, what a cruel world.”

“I just can’t believe this has happened right on our doorstep.”

Clair was an accomplished skydiver who frequently participated in jumps at the nearby facility in Hibaldstow.

A second business owner in Messingham added: “Since I’ve only ever seen this kind of thing in the news, I simply cannot believe it. Everything about it is shocking.” 

Police confirmed that there will be a cordon at the location for a couple of days.
