A 27-year-old man named Layek Miah has been charged with murder after a woman in her 40s was stabbed to death at an address on Monier Road in Tower Hamlets, east London. Emergency services arrived late Thursday night, but the victim was pronounced dead at the scene. Miah was arrested the following day and has since appeared in court, with the investigation ongoing. Local police assured the community that this was considered an isolated incident, providing reassurance to the residents and support to the victim's family.
Detective Superintendent Mike Cagney, who leads policing in Tower Hamlets, previously said: I understand the local community will feel understandably shocked by this news, but I want to reassure residents we believe this to be an isolated incident, with no wider threat to the public.
Despite the efforts of police officers and paramedics, the woman was sadly pronounced dead at the scene.
Layek Miah, 27, of Malmesbury Road, was arrested on Friday on suspicion of murder, the force said.
The woman's next of kin have been made aware and are being supported by specialist officers.
