Marina Watters, who was from the Toftwood area of Dereham, has been described as "the glue" of all of her social circles. Her best friend of five years, Cherise Barnard, 23, said: “Marina was the life and soul of everything. “All she ever wanted to do was help others.”The youngest of two, Miss Watters was born on July 26, 1996, in Norwich, and grew up in Dereham where she attended Toftwood Infants and Juniors before going to Neatherd High School. In tribute to his sister, Mr Watters wrote: “Unfortunately, as most people know, Marina took her own life earlier this week. Because police had had contact with Miss Watters before her death, in line with standard procedures, the death has been referred to the Independent Office of Police Conduct.
