A 60-year-old woman found stabbed to death at home was 'connected' to a 20-year-old man found dead on train tracks three miles away in east London, police have revealed.

Investigations are continuing into the murder of the woman, who was discovered with multiple stab wounds at an address in Bushy Close, Romford, at around 7pm on Sunday.

Met Police received a report from the British Transport Police following concerns for her welfare, but after she was located the victim was sadly pronounced dead at the scene.

She has since been named as 60-year-old Nkiru Chima from Romford.

Her family have been informed and continue to be supported by specialist officers.
