Parents of student killed in Clerkenwell pay tribute

Alarm was raised at Arbour House, Clerkenwell, when a 19-year-old woman was found with neck injuries at student accommodation in central London. Paramedics were unable to revive her and she was pronounced dead at the scene. Her next of kin had been informed.
The student has been identified as Sabita Thanwani. Ms Thanwani, a psychology student at City University, was found dead at her student accommodation in the early hours of Saturday morning after suffering what police described as "serious neck injuries".
Following a man hunt lasting from the early hours to Sunday afternoon, officers arrested Maher Maaroufe, who they were searching for in connection with her death. Mr Maaroute, a Tunisian national of no fixed address, is not a student.
Police were called to Arbour House on Sebastian Street in Clerkenwell, east London, at around 5.10am by a member of the public. Officers then called London Ambulance Service.
The family of Sabita Thanwani, who live in Golders Green, north London, while paying tribute to the "beautiful, irreplaceable" 19-year-old, said "Sabita Thanwani was our daughter. Our angel. Her life, that we hoped would be long, was cut tragically short. She was ripped away from those who loved her so very dearly; her mum, dad, brother, grandparents, extended family and friends. Sabita was the most caring and loving person we have ever known. She inspired us every day of her precious 19 years of life. Her mission was to help everyone. She was studying psychology at City University to make this happen.”
According to her family members, “In her short life, she helped so many. Sabita was pure and did not see bad in anyone, because there was no badness in her own awesome heart. We will never ever stop loving or missing our beautiful, irreplaceable Sabita. The girl that was an angel upon the earth is now an angel in heaven.
