A 27-year-old woman from the city who was pursuing higher education in London was murdered at her residence in Neeld Crescent, Wembley, at around 10 a.m. (BST) on Tuesday, June 13, 2023.
Family members of Kontham Tejaswini Reddy, here at Brahmanapalle in Hayathnagar, on Wednesday said they were informed that she was attacked at her shared accommodation and she breathed her last while undergoing emergency treatment for stab injuries.
Two other people, one man and a woman, arrested in connection with the murder investigation at the crime scene have now been released with no further action.
“Keven Antonio Lourenco De Morais, 23, of Neeld Crescent, Wembley was charged on Thursday, 15 June with the murder of Tejaswini Kontham and the attempted murder of a second woman,” the Met Police said in a statement.
On Tuesday, Met Police officers attended a flat in Neeld Crescent, Wembley, along with the London Ambulance Service and found Tejaswini and another woman, aged 28, suffering from knife injuries.
It led to a man-hunt for prime murder suspect De Morais, who was later arrested in the Harrow area of north London.
