Citibank boss Marianne Kilonzi, 43, has been found beaten to death in her home as police have launched an urgent manhunt to catch her killer.
At around 5.25pm on Friday, January 17, officers attended the house in Woolwich, south-east London following a concern for welfare. Inside they found Marianne’s body, reports the Mirror.
A post-mortem on the following day confirmed blunt force trauma and head injury as her cause of death. No arrests have been made and anyone with information has been urged to come forward.
Detective Chief Inspector Suzanne Soren, from Specialist Crime South, who is leading the investigation said: “This is a tragic crime and our thoughts at this incredibly difficult time are with Marianne’s loved ones and colleagues. We are in contact with her family, who are being supported by specialist colleagues.
“I know this is a concerning time for the wider community and want to reassure the public that whilst we are in the early stages of this investigation, we believe the suspect was known to Marianne and there is no wider risk to the public. This is a fast-paced investigation and I would urge anyone with any information to come forward. Please call 101 quoting CAD 5231/17Jan”
