The murder of a fifth woman in London in just three weeks is being probed amid fears domestic violence would soar during the coronavirus lockdown.

Police say a man was arrested on suspicion of murder after the latest victim, who has not been named, was found dead at home.

Officers had been called to a flat in Enfield, north London, just after 6pm yesterday evening following concerns for the woman’s safety.

A Met Police spokesman said: “Officers and paramedics attended and found a woman inside a flat with serious injuries.

“She was pronounced dead at the scene.

“A post-mortem will take place in due course. A crime scene is in place. Enquiries continue.”

He said a man arrested on suspicion of murder remains in police custody.

Since you are here

Since you are here, we wanted to ask for your help.

Journalism in Britain is under threat. The government is becoming increasingly authoritarian and our media is run by a handful of billionaires, most of whom reside overseas and all of them have strong political allegiances and financial motivations.

Our mission is to hold the powerful to account. It is vital that free media is allowed to exist to expose hypocrisy, corruption, wrongdoing and abuse of power. But we can't do it without you.
