A man has been arrested on suspicion of murder after mother-of-two Yasmin Begum was stabbed to death
Detective Chief Inspector Laurence Smith, leading the investigation, said: "My thoughts are with Yasmin's family and friends at this incredibly difficult time. I want to reassure them that we are working around the clock to get them the answers they deserve.
"It is heart-breaking that yet another woman has been killed. All women and girls have the right to feel safe, at any time, day or night, in public or at home, and we will do everything we can to find those responsible for this. "Tackling violence against woman is one of the Met's top priorities. Police officers, including forensic specialists, remain at the scene. We will continue to carry out door-to-door inquiries and local people will also see additional police in the area.
"We are appealing for any witnesses, or anyone with any information, to contact us. No matter how insignificant you think your information might be, please don't hesitate to get in touch. It could be key to this investigation."Alternatively, they can remain anonymous by contacting the independent charity Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.
