Police launched a murder investigation on Wednesday afternoon, after finding the body of a nineteen-year-old woman in a £1.5m home on Coombe Lane West, Kingston.


Officers had been called earlier in the day after a neighbour became concerned about the girls’ welfare.



Officers went to two addresses did not find them at two addresses, in Sutton and Merton, in south London, and inquiries continued until they were alerted them to the 21-year-old’s knife wounds.

It is believed the older woman managed to escape the suspect.

They later discovered the body of the teenager at the Kingston address.

‘He slit the other one’s throat.

‘I spoke to the neighbours earlier and they said that the person who rented the house out had only done so at the weekend.

‘The man was the stepdad to one of the girls as well.’

Police believe the girls were taken to the property before they were attacked.

A family friend of the owners told The Sun: ‘The girls had got mixed up with a gang of guys. One wanted to marry one of the boys and her Pakistani family couldn’t take that.’

Murder squad’s Detective Chief Inspector Sam Price said: ‘At this stage, one line of inquiry is that the two women were taken against their will to the address in Kingston, by a man who they both knew.

‘They were last seen safe and well at an address in Merton, prior to police being contacted about concerns for their safety and welfare.

“It is clear that both women were subject to a violent attack, resulting in the death of one woman.

‘Fortunately, one of the women managed to get away from the address and seek help. How this happened will form part of this investigation.’

Asked if police were looking into whether the murder was being treated as a so-called honour killing, Ms Price said: ‘I am keeping an open mind as to the motive, but we are not currently looking for anyone else in connection with this case.’
