A woman who was fatally stabbed at a house in east London last month has been named by police as 60-year-old Nkiru Chima.
Officers were called just after 9pm on Sunday, July 27 following concerns for welfare of a woman at an address in Bushy Close in Romford, Havering.
Sadly, despite the best efforts of medical professionals, Chima was pronounced dead at the scene having been stabbed multiple times.
The victim's family has been informed and is being supported by specialist officers, the Metropolitan Police said.
Scotland Yard believe the stabbing is connected to the death of a 20-year-old man on the train tracks at Romford railway station earlier that evening.
This man was known to Nkiru and British Transport Police continue to investigate his passing.
Detective Chief Inspector Joanna Yorke from the Met’s Specialist Crime Command said: “Our thoughts continue to remain with Nkiru’s family at this difficult time.
“I would like to thank the local community for their support with this investigation so far. Our officers will be continuing enquiries and we encourage anyone with any information to contact us.”
No arrests have yet been made and the investigation remains ongoing, police added.
Anyone with information is asked to call 101 or contact ‘X’@METCC and quote CAD6914/27JUL.
