Second woman found dead in freezer named by cops

Police have identified the second of two women found in a freezer in Canning Town, east London, as Henriett Szucs, 34, a Hungarian national who had been in the UK for several years but was of no fixed address.

A statement from Scotland Yard said post-mortem examinations on the two victims, also including Mihrican Mustafa - known as MJ - showed they suffered "multiple" injuries.

It said: "Henriett's next of kin have been informed but formal identification has not yet taken place.

"Post-mortem examinations have now concluded for both women. While no formal cause of death has been established, these have confirmed that MJ and Henriett suffered multiple injuries. Further tests are being carried out."

Detective Chief Inspector Simon Harding, of the Homicide and Major Crime Command, said: "Today we have been able to confirm to Henriett's family that she is sadly one of the women found in the property at Vandome Close.

"They are of course devastated and we would ask for their privacy to be respected.

"MJ's family continue to try to come to terms with their loss and we have specialist officers supporting both families.

"Now we know Henriett's identity, we would appeal for anyone with information about her and in particular her association with the address in Vandome Close where she was found to come forward.

"We understand she was last heard from in the summer of 2016 when she spoke to somebody she knew in Hungary on the phone; we need to establish if that was the last known contact with Henriett and I would ask anyone who heard from her after that time to contact my team.

"We also continue to also ask for help to piece together the last movements of MJ's life.

"We need to build up a full picture of both of these women's lives, whether they knew each other, who they associated with and what they were doing in and around Vandome Close and the Canning Town area.

"The way in which they died is truly shocking and our heart goes out to these women's friends and families."
