Mother is 14th female victim since Sarah killing

A MAN was today being questioned over the murder of a mother found stabbed to death in her flat — the 14th woman killed in London since Sarah Everard’s death.

Officers were called shortly before 1am yesterday to a disturbance in Broxwood Way, Primrose Hill, and found the woman — described by neighbours as “a perfect” mother-of-four — with stab injuries.

Despite the efforts of emergency services, she was pronounced dead at the scene.

Police had appealed for help to locate a 40-year-old man in connection with the killing of the woman in her thirties. He was detained after a manhunt yesterday evening.

The death will heap further pressure on Met Commissioner Dame Cressida Dick to tackle violence against women and girls in London.

Flowers, cards and cuddly toys were placed outside the block where the latest victim died.

One card said: “Rest in peace, going to miss you, love you always.”
