A murder probe has been launched after a woman was stabbed to death in south London.
The 38-year-old woman was attacked at a property in Croydon in the early hours of Monday morning.
Emergency services found the victim suffering from stab injuries at an address in Ravensdale Gardens shortly after 6am.
Medics fought to save her but she was pronounced dead at the scene almost an hour later.
Police were called to the address by paramedics from the London Ambulance Service.
The woman is at least the 11th person to be stabbed to death in the capital this year.
Scotland Yard said the woman’s next of kin have been informed but she has not yet been formally identified.
A post mortem will be scheduled in due course, police said. No-one has been arrested.
A Met Police spokesman said: “Enquiries into the circumstances of the incident are underway and detectives from the Homicide and Major Crime Command led by Detective Chief Inspector Will Reynolds are investigating.”
