An Indian woman from Hyderabad was stabbed to death in north London. The 27 year old Indian origin woman was murdered by two men, who Scotland Yard have said that have been arrested.
The woman was murdered on Tuesday at a residential property in Neeld Crescent, Wembley. The London Police arrested the two men on Wednesday.
The murder victim is yet to be identified, however, several reports have said that the Indian origin woman stabbed to death in London is Kontham Tejasvini – a young professional from Hyderabad.
A second woman, aged 28 and also unnamed, was taken to hospital with stab injuries that were later assessed as not life-threatening.
The Metropolitan Police had earlier released an image of Brazilian national Keven Antonio Lourenco De Morais to seek the public’s help in tracing the suspect behind the attack on Tuesday morning.
The 23-year-old has now been arrested from Harrow, near the crime scene of Neeld Crescent in Wembley.
“He was arrested on suspicion of murder and taken into custody at a north London police station,” the Met Police said, without naming him again as he can now be named only if he is charged.
“Officers attended along with the London Ambulance Service and two women were treated for stab injuries. Despite the efforts of emergency services, a 27-year-old woman sadly died at the scene. Her next of kin are yet to be informed,” the Met Police said in a statement.
Two other people, a 24-year-old man and a 23-year-old woman, were arrested at the scene on suspicion of murder. While the man remains in custody, the woman has been released without further action, the police said.
Police officers were called to Neeld Crescent in Wembley, north London, at 9.59 am local time on Tuesday to reports of a double stabbing.
Two female victims were treated at the scene by the emergency services and while one died on the spot, the other remains in a north London hospital.
