Fears for missing musician, 26, who didn't turn up to concert as police issue appeal

Fears are growing for a missing musician who failed to turn up to a concert she was due to perform in.

Penka Petkova, 26, was last seen at her flat in East London on September 20 by her housemates.

She was reported missing when she failed to turn up to a performance on Tuesday.

Concerned loved ones say Penka, a tutor at Islington Media and Arts College, has not made contact with anyone since and her phone is now off.

A police appeal has been issued in a bid to find Penka - a cello player who graduated from the Guildhall School of Music and Drama on a scholarship.
