Agne Druskiene 40, was pronounced dead at the scene after being found with stab injuries in Cranham Road on Saturday (October 18) at around 1am.
Her 43-year-old husband Augustinas Druskis, of Cranham Road, has been charged with murder and appeared in court today (October 20).
In a GoFundMe fundraiser to raise money for the family of mother-of-three Agne, the organiser representing the “Lithuanian community in the United Kingdom” has shared a message devoted to her.
Translated from Lithuanian to English, it reads: “Such a moment shattered this family’s world into a thousand irreparable pieces.
“Agnes was cruelly and unjustly taken from her life – a woman who was everything to those who knew her.
“A loving, devoted mother to her family, a gentle daughter, a loyal friend, a kind-hearted neighbour. A person whose smile warmed, whose hug soothed, and whose heart never tired of sharing love with those around her.”
The fundraiser added that her children were “left without the most important person – their mother”.
It said: “It’s not just loss. It’s an endless pain, silence, and emptiness that nothing can fill.”
People have been asked to contribute money to the fundraiser to help support her two younger children and her eldest who has “just begun her independent life”. https://www.gofundme.com/f/agnes-druskienes-vaikams
Druskis had his first hearing at Barkingside Magistrates’ Court today.
Represented by Paul Martin and Co Solicitors, he did not enter a plea and was remanded in custody until his next hearing.
He will appear at the Old Bailey on Wednesday (October 22) at 10am for a plea and trial preparation hearing.
