This is the first picture of a woman who was stabbed to death inside a multi-million pound London apartment.
Police launched a murder hunt after officers forced entry to a property in Stanhope Place, at around 8.30am on Monday.
The body of a 27-year-old woman was found inside the address suffering stab injuries.
While formal identification awaits, next of kin have been informed and we can confirm the deceased is Kamonnan Thiamphanit, who was known to her friends as Angela, who lived at the address.
A post-mortem examination carried out on Wednesday, 10 April found the cause of death was sharp force trauma.
Detective Chief Inspector Adam Clifton who leads the investigation said: ‘My team continues to work tirelessly to piece together the events that led to Kamonnan’s murder. I would like to thank local residents for their patience while we have gone about our work at the scene.
‘I would appeal to anyone who has information that could assist us, no matter how insignificant you think that may be, to come forward and speak to us.
‘Kamonnan’s family and friends have been devastated by this murder and we must ensure whoever is responsible is held to account.’
There has been no arrest and enquiries continue.
