Witnesses described hearing a huge bang in the early hours. Samson Oguntayo, 32, who lives in a neighbouring block, said: ‘They were trying to have sex on the balcony. The guy was lifting the girl and putting her on the bannister, he kept on doing it. ‘You could see they were doing some really dangerous stuff. ‘At some point friends must have come outside and they got down and came back inside and then came back out again. They started doing it again. ‘You see people on the balcony doing all sorts of things and I just felt they will probably go back inside. The last thing I expected was to see them falling down. We just screamed.’ Tragedy: Anastasia Tutik, 19 (pictured) was believed to be at a party in the sixth-floor apartment Horror: Samson Oguntayo (left) found the bodies of the teenagers this morning, including Anastasia Tutik (right)

Witnesses said the pair’s friends were hysterical. Shradha Chaturvedi, 31, who lives on the second floor of the block, said: ‘I heard a very, very loud noise and a lady screaming. ‘Initially I heard a boom and at first I thought a firework had gone off or something. My husband came down and there were two guys outside who were totally drunk.’

Alfonso, a fellow student from Mexico, said Miguel arrived in London a week ago. ‘They met at the party,’ he added. ‘He liked her and she liked him so they went on to the balcony to make out – to kiss and cuddle. They were alone on the balcony.

‘Miguel had come to London to take a summer course in English. He was from Monterrey and he wanted to study business.

‘Anastasia was very pretty – slim, blonde with green eyes – but she was very intelligent as well. She was one of the top students in the class.

‘She was studying A-levels and she was hoping to go to university in September. Miguel’s family are devastated. His parents are flying over from Mexico. They will arrive tomorrow morning.’

Anastasia’s parents, who live in Russia, are believed to be flying into London today. Bouquets of flowers have been placed at the foot of Knights Tower, which has spectacular views of the Thames and Canary Wharf.
