Detective Chief Superintendent Richard Tucker said: “The launch of any murder investigation is naturally of concern to the local community and we have borough officers in the area supporting colleagues from the Homicide and Major Crime Command as they investigate the full circumstances."

A police source told the Daily Mail: "The bodies were found in the freezer inside the flat apparently.

"There were two victims. One of them is understood to have been on the Missing Persons list for quite some time."
