A bunch of red roses have been placed by a police cordon where the 25-year-old woman was found.
The message with them says simply: "In memory of the greatest mummy and loving girlfriend".
Forensic officers are working behind a blue tent at the end of an alleyway, between houses.
This is a residential area, just a few metres away from Thatcham Park Primary School, where children are playing.
