\n Zahwa Salah Muktar was found seriously injured in\u00a0Chadwell Heath Lane at around 5.30am on August 16.\u00a0\n<\/p>\n
\n The 27-year-old was pronounced dead at the scene shortly after.\u00a0\n<\/p>\n
\n A 35-year-old man was arrested on the evening of August 17 on suspicion of assisting an offender.\n<\/p>\n
\n This is in addition to a 35-year-old man who was arrested on suspicion of murder, alongside a 21-year-old and 22-year-old who were arrested on suspicion of assisting an offender.\n <\/p>\n

\n “We are keen to understand the events prior to Zahwa\u2019s death.\n <\/p>\n
\n “We would like to speak with anyone who was with Zahwa and who may have any information that may help police understand her movements on that day.”\n <\/p>\n
