Body In Suitcase: Man Held Over Murder

A 29-year-old man has been arrested on suspicion of murder after a woman's body was found in a suitcase near a sports ground in north London.

Earlier, detectives investigating the murder urged anyone who saw someone moving a heavy black trolley case to come forward.

Police were called to search among trees near a sports ground in Hendon, late on Sunday afternoon where they found the body of a young white woman.

"The homicide and serious crime command are still in the early stages of this investigation and urgently require the assistance of the public to help us establish the circumstances around the murder of this young woman," said Detective Chief Inspector Nicola Wall said.

The body was found in the Thornfield Avenue area

"We are specifically appealing to anyone who witnessed anything suspicious towards the latter part of last week. Did you see anyone moving a heavy black trolley-type suitcase on or after July 18, especially around the Thornfield Avenue/Dollis Road entrance of the wooded area?

"We are also interested in hearing from anyone who is concerned about any young adult females who have gone missing from the immediate area recently."

A post-mortem was due to take place and the woman has not yet been identified.

Detective Chief Superintendent Adrian Usher, borough commander for Barnet, said: "The discovery of the body of a young woman hidden in a suitcase is a tragic and shocking thing to happen. I am sure local people will be feeling unsettled by this news.

"Crimes of this serious nature are incredibly rare in our borough, which may only add to local concern over what has happened. I would like to reassure the local community that we are working closely with specialist homicide teams to establish the full circumstances surrounding this murder."

Police patrols have been stepped up in the area where the body was found.

Anyone with any information can call police on 020 8785 8334, or Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111 to remain anonymous.
