Woman stabbed to death at home yards away from London’s Marble Arch as urgent manhunt launched for killer
Cops said ’local women especially may be worried’
A woman has been stabbed to death at home just yards away from London’s Marble Arch - with an urgent manhunt launched for her killer.
Cops forced entry to the woman’s home near Hyde Park at 8.30am yesterday after friends said they were concerned for her welfare.
Scotland Yard said officers found the woman deceased with a number of stab injuries.
A post-mortem will be held as cops work to track down the woman’s next of kin.
No arrests have been made yet.
DCI Adam Clifton said: "I understand this news will be concerning, and that local women especially may be worried.
"Our enquiries are in the very early stages and we are keeping an open mind as to the motive.
"However, I can assure people that my team are working 24/7 to establish what happened to the woman, and to identify and arrest whoever may be responsible for this attack."
He added: "My officers now need support and information from the public.
"I want to ask local people to check doorbell cameras, and for drivers in the area to think about whether they’ve seen anything unusual that might have been captured on dash cam.
"Did you notice any unusual activity at the address? If you did then it is imperative that we hear from you."
Chief Superintendent Louise Puddefoot said: "Our thoughts are with the woman and her family.
"My officers will do everything we can to support the investigation.
"They will be stationed in the area to speak to anyone who has any information or concerns they want to share with us."
