A murder probe has been launched after an elderly woman in her 70s was found dead inside her own home.
Church leader Nelly Akomah, 76, was found fatally injured at the bottom of the stairs in her home in Croydon, south London, late on Wednesday evening.
Her neighbours claimed that her CCTV had been cut and the alarm disconnected just before the attack and the Met Police are now conducting an investigation, with no arrests having been made so far.
