Detective Chief Inspector Adam Clifton said: “My team continues to work tirelessly to piece together the events that led to Kamonnan’s murder. I would like to thank local residents for their patience while we have gone about our work at the scene.

“I would appeal to anyone who has information that could assist us, no matter how insignificant you think that may be, to come forward and speak to us.

“Kamonnan’s family and friends have been devastated by this murder and we must ensure whoever is responsible is held to account.”

Officers had been contacted by the victim’s friends on Sunday because they were worried for her safety.

One of her neighbours has told Sky News she does not “feel very safe” following the fatal stabbing.

Katerina was studying in her flat when she saw “much more people than usual” standing outside the victim’s apartment.

She texted her mother that night to say how “noisy” it was in the area, which she thought was unusual for a Sunday.

Police reassured her that it was an “isolated incident” – but Katerina says she still feels “scared”.
