A 34-year-old woman was found dead on 23rd June 2015, in Gerrards Cross. Police have revealed the identity of the victim, Anita Kapoor, from Hayes and the case is being treated as murder.
Following the post mortem, the police said that the cause of death was “asphyxiation, due to compress of the neck.”
Kapoor was last seen at 3am on 23rd June, in Southall. Part of the route from Uxbridge to Denham was closed after a dead body was found.
Thames Valley Police arrested a man from Hayes in suspicion of murder. Det Supt Gill Wootton said, “We would like to speak to anyone who recognises Anita and knows of her whereabouts between 3am yesterday, when she was last seen in Oswald Road, Southall, West London, and 8.36am yesterday when her body was found in Gerrards Cross... We would appeal to anyone who has knowledge of Anita or her movements in the early hours of the 23 June to contact the investigation team.”
Wootton further stated, “Our priorities are to identify and arrest those responsible for Anita’s death and support her family at this difficult time. The family of Anita have asked that the media respect their privacy at this difficult time. Thames Valley Police are working with their counterparts in the Hillingdon and Ealing Boroughs of the Metropolitan Police, both in terms of the investigation and also the protection and reassurance of local communities in both force areas.”
