A family has paid tribute to a ‘vibrant and loving mum’ who was found dead inside a car.
Kennedi Westcarr-Sabaroche, 25, was found on Whiston Road, Hackney, London, on April 6, just before 6.45am.
The mum died at the scene despite the efforts of officers and paramedics.
Gogoa Tape, 27, was arrested and charged with murder on April 7.
Tape appeared in custody at Thames Magistrates Court on April 8 and made his first appearance at the Old Bailey by video link from Thameside prison two days later.
A tribute on Kennedi’s GoFundMe page in memory of her reads: ‘As the youngest of four siblings, she was the family’s beacon of optimism, a lover of people, a cheerleader when you need one and her moral compass always pointed in the right direction.
‘She was someone who cherished moments, finding joy in dancing, trying new things, and spending time with loved ones.
‘Kennedi’s upbeat nature and love for TikTok dances and karaoke were contagious, and she approached life with a ‘cup half-full’ attitude, always finding reasons to be grateful.

‘Kennedi embraced motherhood like a duck to water, diving into it with the same enthusiasm she brought to every aspect of her life. She devoted her time to her daughter’s learning and development, and championed the nursery staff who supported that journey.’
A plea hearing for Tape’s trial has been set for June 26.
A provisional two week trial has been set for February 3 2025.
