A 33-year-old man has been charged with murder after a woman was stabbed to death in south London.
Metropolitan Police officers discovered 26-year-old Marjama Osman in Frith Road, Croydon on Saturday morning.
She had been assaulted inside an address before going into the street where she collapsed.
Officers attended with paramedics and London’s Air Ambulance, who treated two injured individuals at the scene around 9am.
Ms Osman was declared dead by the London Ambulance Service after sustaining a single stab wound.
Simon Hinsta Ghebremedhin, 33, of Streatham High Road, SW16, was charged with her murder today. He was also charged with possession of a class B drug.
Ghebremehdin will appear at Thames Magistrates Court on Saturday.
A 32-year-old man was also arrested on suspicion of murder and has since been bailed as enquiries continue.
Superintendent Mitch Carr, who leads local policing in Croydon, previously said: “This is a tragic incident where a young woman has lost her life and our thoughts are with her loved ones.
“I especially want to thank the members of the public, including a teenage boy, who bravely tried to help the victim.
“We believe that this was an isolated incident, but understand that this news will shock the local community.
“Officers will remain in the area over the coming days and we would ask anyone who has concerns to speak with them.”
