Kamonnan Thiamphanit, 27, was found dead at her home in Stanhope Place, Marble Arch, City of Westminster, when police officers forced entry to the address at around 8.30am on 8 April.
She had suffered stab injuries and the cause of death was recorded at postmortem as sharp force trauma.
Kammonan, who was born in Thailand and also had Chinese/Hong Kong nationality, had been living in the UK for around nine years. She first came to study at university and at the time of her death was working in London in property management.
She was renting out the flat in Stanhope Place as an AirBnB property. The building was formerly the Ethiopian embassy.
Police were contacted with concerns about her welfare twice on the evening of 7 April, at 7.05pm and 9.34pm, and officers initially graded the missing persons enquiry as ‘medium risk’.
The Metropolitan Police referred itself to the Independent Office for Police Conduct because of this previous contact.
Police believe she was killed by someone known to her on 6 April. An inquest heard the suspect fled the country after the attack and detectives were seeking to gathering enough evidence to make an extradition request.
However no suspect has yet been arrested or charged.
Angela’s family said in a statement: “We are unspeakably hurt by the loss of our dearly loved one and are sincerely thankful for the relentless efforts of the British police in investigating this tragic event.”
Two men were found dead after a house fire in Forest Road, Walthamstow, Waltham Forest, on 21 April 2024.
Police were called to the blaze at 10.24pm. The victims have not been publicly named by police but were said to be aged 34 and 25. The Independent reported that they were immigrants from Algeria.
A murder investigation was launched on 23 April.
Detective Chief Inspector Matt Webb, leading the investigation, said: “We believe that there may have been an incident outside the address in Forest Road before the fire started and I am very keen to hear from anyone who witnessed something or perhaps has doorbell or dashcam footage.
“Two people’s lives have been cut short as a result of this fire and we are determined to find those responsible. If you have heard something or have information about this incident please don’t hesitate to get in touch.”

A 25-year-old man was arrested on suspicion of murder on 13 May but nobody has been charged.
In May 2025 the Metropolitan Police offered a £20,000 reward for information leading to a conviction.
Detective Inspector Martin Thorpe said: ““We want to know what happened that morning on St Rule Street SW8. We know there was a group of around 40 people gathered there on Friday evening and into the early hours of Saturday morning. If you were there, then you may have crucial information for us.
“I am grateful to those who have come forward already, however we still need more from the public. This is why we are now offering a reward of up to £20,000 for information that leads to the successful charge and conviction of the person responsible.
“Think back to last May, did you witness what happened to Jazmel? Do you know who fired the gun? Did you see anyone running from the St Rule Street area? If you know what happened, then you need to speak to us.
“We will support you throughout, you can also contact Crimestoppers to remain anonymous and your identity will be protected. Alliances change over time, so please do the right thing by coming forward.”
Rene Graham, 15, was shot dead during the annual Park Lime festival in Ladbroke Grove, west London, on 21 July.
The teenager was in Emslie Horniman’s Pleasance Park when a gunman entered via the children’s play area and opened fire at around 7.20pm.
Rene was hit in the chest and died at the scene near Hazlewood Crescent. The shooting was witnessed by dozens of people including young children.
The suspect, who was dressed in a dark waterproof jacket, cap and a balaclava despite the warm temperatures that day, then climbed over the fence and attempted to shoot a second victim following a chase down the street.
CCTV footage released by police in July 2025 showed the suspect walking along the pavement with a gun moments before Rene was shot. It also captured him chasing and pointing the weapon at the second male.
Nobody has been charged with the murder and Crimestoppers is offering a reward of up to £20,000 for information that leads to the identification and prosecution of those responsible.
Detective Chief Inspector Alison Foxwell said: “The person responsible for Rene’s murder opened fire in a busy park where dozens of people, including very young children, were enjoying themselves.
“Officers have appealed to the local community on multiple occasions – we believe there are people sitting on the name of the person responsible.
“Officers have appealed to the local community on multiple occasions – we believe there are people sitting on the name of the person responsible.
“This person, who was willing to take the life of Rene and risk the lives of others, remains in your community. Now is the time to get in touch with us to give Rene’s family the peace they deserve.”
I cannot begin to describe the depth of my pain after losing my precious angel. The emptiness and heartbreak, there are no words that can capture the agony of my loss. This is a grief so profound I would not wish it upon my worst enemy – I’ve lost everything, my world will never be the same. I am reaching out to you and pleading for your help. If you know anything – anything at all – or witnessed anything that could help us, please I beg you to come forward. Please if you have any information no matter how small and insignificant it may seem, please could you share with us? Your bravery could be the key to bringing peace to a broken family. Today is my son, but tomorrow could be one of yours. Please stand with me through the darkest of times.”

Jade Anthony Barnett, 38, was stabbed in Clapton, east London, at around 3.38pm on 28 August 2024
He was driving a mobility scooter when he was attacked in Rushmore Road. Jade, who reportedly lost his leg in a motorcycle accident in 2007, was pronounced dead at the scene.
Two men were arrested near the area but were later released with no further action.
DCI Phil Clarke said: “Jade was stabbed in the street during the middle of the day. I know there are people who have yet to come forward to police for whatever reason who will have seen what happened or taken pictures or video as events unfolded.”
Tikquaan Stephenson-Walters, 28, was shot in West Kilburn, northwest London, at around 11.05pm on 4 September.
Police said Tikquaan had no gang affiliation and was near his home when he was approached by a suspect on a white Honda moped in Bravington Road.
After a short exchange of words, the gunman shot him at close range. He was pronounced dead at the scene at 11.48pm.
The suspect fled north and turned into Marban Road.
Three men have been arrested on suspicion of murder during the investigation but nobody has been charged and the case remains unsolved.
CCTV footage of the alleged gunman riding the white moped in the area before the attack was issued by the Metropolitan police in September 2025.
DCI Wayne Jolly said: “We are particularly keen to identify a man who was captured on CCTV in the vicinity before the attack took place. I must reiterate my appeal for anyone who has not yet spoken to us to come forward and contact ourselves or Crimestoppers anonymously.”
Crimestoppers offered a £20,000 reward for information leading to a conviction to anyone involved the murder. The offer was due to expire in December 2025.
Tikquaan was a loving son, brother, uncle, nephew, cousin and grandson. Not only to his family but also his community. Tikquaan touched the hearts of many, his smile brightened every room he entered. He was an intellectual and charismatic young man who had no affiliation with any gang other than growing up and attending school within the local area. He grew friendships with people regardless of the paths they choose, he remained steadfast.
The aftermath of this senseless killing has resulted in a family and community that has been destroyed. No one can comprehend this catastrophic loss. The resentment felt by everyone has crippled his loved ones. If anyone has any information we urge you to come forward regardless to how insignificant it may seem.

The Metropolitan Police continue to appeal for information and any dashcam, CCTV or mobile phone video evidence.
In a renewed appeal in February 2025, DCI Mark Rogers said: “Hanif was an innocent man. His death has devastated his family and friends, as well as many in the local community.
“We have continued to support Hanif’s family and update them at every point possible. While we have made significant progress with our enquiries, we are yet to secure a conviction and get the justice that they deserve.
“I’m appealing for anyone who has any information to come forward. Were you out in Barking on that Saturday night? Perhaps you had also been at the birthday party at Factory 15 or at another event nearby? Did you see or hear the shooting or anything else that struck you as being unusual?
“Someone must have seen or heard something, or must know why this shooting took place. No piece of information is too small. It could be the crucial clue that leads us to identify Hanif’s murderer.”
To provide information to the police call 101 or message @MetCC on X, giving the reference 1295/13OCT.
If you wish to remain anonymous contact Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.
Hanif was a bright spark whose light has been dimmed far too soon. He was an innocent, hardworking and loving father of two, and it is heartbreaking to think that he has been taken away from us.
As his family, we are imploring anyone with information to make their voices heard, and to help us get justice for our beloved Hanif. To those who may know or may have seen or heard what took place on that horrific night, any information you have will be of great value to us to help the authorities apprehend those that carried out such a dreadful act.”

“Three people, including Curtis, were shot. While the other two people survived, one remains in hospital and has long road to recovery ahead of her.
“I am appealing to anyone who has information about what happened at the party, especially those outside Hensford Gardens at the time of the incident, to come forward. I am keen to hear from anyone who may have left prior and from those who were present at the time of the shooting. You may not think you have any key information, but it may prove vital to assist us with our investigation.”
We are appealing for people to come forward with any information they may know pertaining to our beloved Curtis. Curtis loved his family, loved his community and worked hard to establish businesses to uplift people physically and spiritually. We appeal to the community’s morals, values and integrity to stand for justice and to stop the violence that is happening far too frequently.
We are all devastated and heartbroken and will never be the same, having to live without such a vibrant, inspirational, loving person in our lives will be torture.
