Stepdad ‘butchered his teenage niece and shoved her in the FREEZER in honour killing where he also slit 21-year-old woman’s throat’ at £1.5m London home
Police were led to horror house after one of the girls escaped with a cut throat and raised the alarm to medics
A TEENAGE girl’s butchered body was allegedly found stuffed in the freezer in a suspected honour killing at a £1.5 million home.
A horrified neighbour claimed a stepdad kidnapped his 19-year-old niece and a 21-year-old woman before carrying out a barbaric attack.
The 21-year-old escaped after having her throat slashed at the property in Kingston-on-Thames, before medics alerted police.
The two women are believed to have been taken to the house at around 2pm yesterday – around six hours before the 21-year-old arrived at hospital.
Outside the house, a Renault Clio with its driver’s window smashed could be seen parked up and a silver fridge could be seen behind the police cordon.
Police are understood to be investigating whether the girl’s death was an honour killing.
A family friend said: “Whoever did this cut her up Jack the Ripper style.”
The owners of the property had been granted planning permission to turn the six-bedroom home into two houses and are believed to have given the keys to a building firm.
Neighbour Bernett Thrones, 39, said she heard a loud bang on her door and people running on gravel outside her home on Wednesday lunchtime but couldn’t see anything when she looked outside.
She said: “I could hear running on the gravel drive and then a loud knock.
“It was very sudden and very loud. I had a facemask on, but I jumped up and went downstairs.
“By the time I opened the door the person was gone. I could hear them running away on the stones.
Police are quizzing two men, aged 33 and 28, and a 29-year-old woman.
The Met Police confirmed a murder investigation had been launched.
A spokesman said: “A post-mortem examination and formal identification will be arranged in due course.”
Two men, aged 33 and 28, have been arrested on suspicion of murder and a 29-year-old woman has been arrested on suspicion of assisting an offender.
All three remain in custody tonight and will be questioned by murder squad detectives.
Detective Chief Inspector Samantha Price, leading the investigation, said: “We are doing everything we can to fully understand the circumstances of this despicable attack on two young women.
“The death of the 19-year-old woman is being treated as murder and the attack on the 21-year-old is being treated as attempted murder.
“We are appealing for anyone with information to contact us.
“At this early stage it is believed the two victims were taken to an address before being attacked.
“We also understand that the victims were known to their attackers.
“Inquiries continue to establish the motive for this incident.”
