A young
Kenyan lady has been killed by her husband in Northolt, West London.
The lady, identified as Shamim Gabriel was stabbed to death by the
husband, Richard Otunga in front of their six-year old daughter.
It was
the traumatised and crying daughter who called the police for help
through the 999 emergency number while the killer dad was still on phone
bragging to his father-in-law of how he had killed the woman after a
domestic quarrel.
Police
arrived at the scene within minutes but the woman was already dead. The
man was arrested and has been detained at a local police station for
interrogation.
Kenyan
neighbours who are friends to the young couple told the Standard that
the house, which is now a scene of crime was still sealed off by the
police as forensic experts continued to look for clues.
The
obviously physically shaken daughter who is allegedly still in tears is
in the hands of specialists social services officers who have already
started giving her counselling.
A
statement sent to the Standard by the Metropolitan Police said: “Police
were called at approximately 07:00hrs on Sunday, 29 December to a
residential address on Taywood Road, Northolt following reports of an
injured woman. Officers and London Ambulance Service attended.
The
33-year-old woman was pronounced dead at the scene at 07:25hrs. Next of
kin have been informed. We await formal identification.
A
post-mortem examination will be held in due course. The Homicide and
Major Crime Command is investigating. A 37-year-old man was arrested at
the address on suspicion of murder and remains in custody at a west
London police station.”
