A murder probe has been launched after a woman in her 30s died from head injuries in east London.

Police and paramedics were called to a residential address in City Island Way at about 4pm on Friday.

The woman was found with a critical head injury and pronounced dead at the scene at 4.17pm, Scotland Yard said.

Images posted on social media show an air ambulance landing nearby as scores of emergency services vehicles descended on the scene.

A Met Police spokesman said officers were in the process of informing next of kin.

He added: “A post-mortem examination will be held in due course. Formal identification awaits.

“The Homicide and Major Crime Command have been informed.”

Police added that no arrests have been made.

Anyone with information concerning this incident at the address is requested to call police on 101 or Crimestoppers anonymously via 0800 555 111.
