Tributes to ‘lovely lady’ who was stabbed to death in north London flat

Neighbours have spoken of their ‘horror’ after a woman was stabbed to death at her north London home as tributes described her as ‘lovely lady’.

Pamela Munro, 45, was found in Ayley Croft, Enfield, at around 7pm on Saturday.

Forensics officers were trawling through the fifth-floor flat where she was found fatally stabbed after police and paramedics were scrambled to the address.

Father of two Premnath Ganespillai told Metro: ‘We live in the same block we are all terrified to go out of our doors.

‘It’s horrifying. We need to know exactly how this happened. We are hiding behind our doors.

‘One thing we need in future is more CCTV, there is not enough to deter people.

‘We are all thinking of the poor lady who died.’

Another neighbour,  a 42 year-old mother of three, said: ‘I knew the woman who died to say hello to.

‘She was a lovely lady as far as I could see. She always smiled when we passed in the corridor. She certainly didn’t seem the type to attract problems.’

Another described how police swamped the area after the alarm was raised.

Hailey Coulson, 21, told Metro: ‘It was mad, like out of a crime drama there were police everywhere.

‘They locked down the whole block. We are in big shock.’

A man, 29, has been arrested on suspicion of murder.

Detective Chief Inspector Neil John said: ‘Investigating officers have worked relentlessly across the weekend to investigate the circumstances around Pamela’s death.

‘We continue to support her family, who are understandably devastated.’

Police have asked anyone who drove through the estate between 6.30pm and 7.30pm on Saturday – especially those with dashcam footage – to contact the force.

Officers believe that the arrested man and the victim were known to each other.
