Kamonnan, known to pals as Angela, was found dead with a number of stab injuries, Scotland Yard said.

Police say the dual Hong Kong-Thai national had been living at the Georgian property on the edge of Hyde Park when she died.

Forensics teams were spotted scouring the Grade II listed building on Monday as the murder investigation got underway.

A post-mortem examination carried out on Wednesday found the cause of death was sharp force trauma.

There has been no arrest and inquiries continue.

The discovery followed reports from neighbours who said they heard two "high-pitched screams" on Sunday followed by "silence".

Despite a friend of Kamonnan calling the police at 7.05pm and 9.34pm on Sunday with welfare concerns, cops didn't attend.

An elderly neighbour said: "I did hear very, very high-pitched screams on Sunday evening coming from that direction.

"A series of screams. I recall two - I'm very sensitive to sound. They were very unusual.

"There was no other sound other than the screams, then silence after.

"I was in my room and I thought, 'That's very strange'. Then I recall there was a sound from the other side of my house."

The Bayswater address used to be owned by the Ethiopian embassy, locals said.

The Met has referred itself to the police watchdog following the incident.

FAMILY DEVASTATED

Detective Chief Inspector Adam Clifton, leading 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.”
