Courtney's family also paid thanks to the emergency services, first responders, and members of the public that desperately tried to save Courtney's life and were with her in her final moments.
The monster attempted to contact Courtney 22 times in a five-hour period on the day he brutally murdered her, and he was also in contact with associates of the pair on the day, where witnesses reported he made threats to kill Courtney.
Logan Burnett, 27, has been sentenced to life in prison with a minimum term of 24 years for horrifically killing Courtney Mitchell, 26, in broad daylight last August.
Courtney had told her friends of the vile physical and verbal abuse she had suffered at the hands of Burnett prior to the attack, including alleged threats to kill.
Their statement added: "We would also like to thank the passers-by for trying to save her and staying with Courtney in her last moments and for the person who tried to prevent it.
