Detective Chief Inspector Linda Bradley, who is leading the investigation, said police believe the victim was studying at City, University of London. Sky News understands she was a first-year foreign student, thought to be of Middle East background.

DCI Bradley said: “Early indications so far suggest that the victim had been in a relationship with Maaroufe and that they had been together that evening….
