A young model was found stabbed to death with her three-year old-daughter ‘crying next to her in a pool of blood’, friends said today.
The body of Linah Keza, 29, understood to have taken part in Miss Africa 2010, was found at a flat in King Edward Road, Leyton, early yesterday morning.
She is believed to have had a panic button installed by police.
The case has been referred to the Independent Police Complaints Commission, which will look at contact police had with her and a 38-year-old man who has been arrested over her death.
London Ambulance Service paramedics accompanied police to the address just before 4.30am, but Linah, a Rwandan national living in London, was pronounced dead at the scene.
It is understood that her daughter was at the address at the time of the attack, according to a family friend.
