Suspected murder victim remembered as a lover of life

The shocked family of a woman allegedly murdered in Launceston on Boxing Day has remembered their “Mimi” as a woman who loved life and was always smiling.

Jingai Zhang’s body was found in a bedroom of a property on Wellington Street in Launceston’s CBD about 8.30pm on December 26.

Tasmania Police says a witness, police and paramedics tried to resuscitate the 49-year-old but she was declared dead at the scene.

A post-mortem concluded Ms Zhang had been murdered.

German national Tobias Pick has been charged with one count of murder and one count of stealing.

He did not enter a plea when he appeared in court on December 30 and was remanded to reappear on January 21.
