A man sought by police over a double stabbing has been found dead. Miguel Angel Alvarez Florentino, 38, was wanted for the murder of Yolanda Saldana Feliz, 53, and the non-fatal stabbing of a 30-year-old woman in Newham, east London, on October 23.
The two victims, who knew Florentino, were found injured at a house in Windmill Lane, Newham, in the early hours of the morning. Police took the unusual step of publicly naming Florentino as the suspect as they launched a manhunt to find him.
On Friday evening, detectives found his body in a river near Blaker Road, in Stratford, east London. His death is being treated as unexplained but not suspicious, and his family has been told.
