Police are continuing enquiries following the death of a 60-year-old woman in Romford.
On Sunday, 27 July, Met Police received a report from the British Transport Police at around 19:00hrs following concerns for welfare of a woman at an address in Bushy Close, RM1.
Officers located a woman at the address with multiple stab wounds, she was sadly pronounced dead at the scene.
She has since been named as 60-year-old Nkiru Chima from Romford.
Her family continue to be supported by specialist officers.
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.
“As our enquiries have progressed, we are confident that Nkiru’s tragic death is connected to the death of a 20-year-old man on the train tracks at Romford station earlier that evening. This man was known to Nkiru and British Transport Police continue to investigate his death.
“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.”
