A member of the public discovered Ms Morgan’s remains in woodland near Stevenage on 5 October, hidden in a woodland off Chadwell Road, just outside an area previously searched by officers, Hertfordshire Police said. Ms Morgan’s mother, Carol Morgan, said: “Joy was so beautiful and completely lived up to her name – she brought joy to all our lives. She was our star.” Detective Chief Inspector Justine Jenkins said: “My thoughts are with Joy’s family at this difficult time and while nothing can end their pain, I hope that this gives them closure and I am glad that they will now have the opportunity to say goodbye to Joy.” Israel, whose birth name is Ajibola Shogbamimu, spent time along with Ms Morgan, against strict church rules, before he killed her.
