The manhunt for the Marble Arch murderer today took a new turn after police named and released the first picture of the woman who was found stabbed to death inside her £4million property. 

Police today named the victim of the horrific stabbing as Kamonnan Thiamphanit whose body was discovered by officers after they forced entry to a property in Stanhope Place, Bayswater, at approximately 8.30am on Monday, April 8.

Officers were contacted on Sunday by friends of the 27-year-old who were concerned about her welfare but only attended the scene more than 13 hours later. 

Ms Thiamphanit, known as Angela, lived at the address, which residents believe was being used as an Airbnb and until four years ago was rented by the Ethiopian Embassy. 

Neighbours of the property on the edge of Hyde Park told MailOnline they heard two 'high-pitched screams'  and then a harrowing 'silence' hours before her body was found with stab injuries.

Police have launched a murder investigation following the tragic incident, vowing to 'ensure whoever is responsible is held to account'.  No arrests have yet been made.
