A quiet street in the heart of Westminster has become the centre of a murder investigation after a woman was found with fatal stab wounds in the early hours of the morning. The victim, whose identity has not been formally released by authorities, was discovered on Page Street, a residential road just moments from the bustling life of central London.
The Metropolitan Police were called to the scene at approximately 2:45 AM following reports of a disturbance. Despite the rapid response of emergency services, the woman was pronounced dead at the location. A crime scene remains in place as forensic officers continue their meticulous search for evidence.
A Family's Agonising Loss
In a heart-wrenching statement, the family of the deceased have broken their silence to pay tribute to their lost loved one. They described her as a 'beautiful daughter and sister' whose life was cruelly cut short, leaving them utterly devastated.
'Our world has been shattered,' the emotional tribute continued. 'She was a beautiful soul, loved by all who knew her. We are broken and ask for privacy at this unimaginably difficult time as we try to come to terms with our loss.'
Manhunt Underway for Suspect
The Homicide and Major Crime Command unit has taken over the investigation. While no arrests have been made public at this stage, detectives are pursuing several active lines of enquiry. Officers have been conducting door-to-door interviews and scouring local CCTV footage in an effort to identify a suspect and piece together the victim's final movements.
A post-mortem examination is scheduled to take place, which will formally establish the cause of death. The police have urged any witnesses or individuals with information, no matter how insignificant it may seem, to come forward immediately.
This violent incident has sent shockwaves through the local Westminster community, a area more commonly associated with political life now grappling with a senseless act of violence on its doorstep.
