In a chilling case that has left authorities and neighbours stunned, a 51-year-old man has been accused of living with his ex-girlfriend's decomposing body on his sofa for several weeks. The disturbing discovery was made in Westminster, central London, after concerns were raised about the woman's whereabouts.
Gruesome Details Emerge
According to police reports, the man allegedly continued his daily routine while the body remained in his flat. Neighbours reported a foul odour emanating from the property, but no one suspected the horrifying truth.
Police Investigation Underway
Officers were called to the scene after receiving a tip-off from concerned acquaintances who hadn't seen the woman in weeks. Forensic teams have since conducted a thorough examination of the property.
The suspect, whose identity has not been officially released, has been arrested on suspicion of murder and is currently in police custody. Investigators are working to determine the exact timeline of events and cause of death.
Community in Shock
Local residents expressed their disbelief at the macabre discovery in their normally quiet neighbourhood. One neighbour, who wished to remain anonymous, said: 'We never imagined something so terrible could happen here. It's absolutely horrifying.'
The Metropolitan Police have assured the public that this appears to be an isolated incident and there is no ongoing threat to the community. However, the case has raised questions about how such a situation could go unnoticed for so long in a densely populated urban area.
