Tributes have been paid by people working in the porn industry to a woman who was killed in an apparent murder suicide.

A murder investigation was launched after the body of Junella Valentine was found in a flat in Harveyfields, Waltham Abbey, at 10.40am yesterday.

Nikita Devine, who describes herself on Twitter as a porn star, tweeted: “A beautiful women ever my best friend RIP you beautiful soul.”

Emily B, who describes herself as a porn actress, wrote: “RIP my girl lost but never forgotten. How someone could brutally murder someone so special I can’t get over but us girls will never forget you”

Fellow porn performer Emma Butt added: "My gosh, I am totally drained and emotionally numb shocked beyond all words imaginable and sick to my stomach. Rip."

DD Ventura wrote: "Always in my thoughts, forever in my heart. RIP JV I love you so much, words can't describe the pain in my heart."

“I was privileged to have had you in my life. I'll never forget you and the knowledge you passed to me.”

The death is being linked to that of a man who was found hanged in Grundy Park, Cheshunt, yesterday.

Post mortems and formal identification were due to take place today.
