A teenager has been charged with murder following the death of a 27-year-old woman in west London, after being extradited from the United Arab Emirates. Enzo Bettamio, 18, of no fixed address, appeared at Westminster Magistrates' Court on Saturday, charged with the murder of Kamonnan Thiamphanit.
Thiamphanit, also known as Angela, was found with multiple stab wounds at her home in Stanhope Place, Bayswater, at around 8.30am on 6 April 2024. She was pronounced dead at the scene. The Metropolitan Police said Bettamio was extradited on a flight from Dubai to the UK on Friday following joint inquiries with the Crown Prosecution Service's extradition and international units.
Bettamio spoke only to confirm his name and date of birth during the hearing. He was remanded into custody and is due to appear at the Old Bailey on Tuesday. No plea was entered. Thiamphanit's family have been informed and are being supported by specialist officers.
Detective Chief Inspector Alison Foxwell, leading the investigation, said: 'I would also like to express my sincere thanks to Angela’s family and friends for their patience and unwavering support to the investigation, throughout what has been an incredibly difficult and distressing time for them.'
Thiamphanit, who had dual Chinese-Hong Kong and Thai nationality, worked in property management and had been living in the UK for about nine years.
