Yajaira Castro Mendez, 46, who is originally from Colombia, went missing from Ilford at the end of May, and following police enquiries a murder probe was launched alongside a search to track down her remains A man has been arrested after the discovery of the body of a missing 46-year-old woman in east London. Investigators were conducting a search for Colombian national Yajaira Castro Mendez, 46, after she was last seen in Ilford at the end of May. Though formal identification is yet to take place, Yajaira's next of kin have been informed and are now being supported by specialist officers. After her disappearance, police carried out extensive enquiries and decided to launch a murder probe. They then carried out searches through Hampshire's Bolderwood area earlier today, where they discovered human remains. Lead investigator Detective Inspector Jay Gregory, said: 'This is a very sad development in the investigation and are thoughts are very much with Yajaira's family and friends at this incredibly difficult time. "We continue to appeal to anyone with information that could assist the investigation to please come forward.' On Friday, June 6 a man known to Ms Mendez appeared in court charged with her murder and was remanded into custody, reports MyLondon. Juan Toledo, 51, from south-east London, appeared at Barkingside Magistrates' Court on Friday charged with her murder. After the man was arrested, the Metropolitan Police urged anyone with information to come forward. Chief Superintendent Jason Stewart, who leads policing in Camden, said yesterday: 'Officers have been working around the clock to find Yajaira. She has not been seen or heard from by her family or friends since the date she was reported missing. 'Yajaira's disappearance was initially treated as a missing person investigation led by local officers. The investigation was then transferred to the Met's Specialist Crime Command on Thursday, 5 June after a range of extensive further enquiries very sadly suggested she has come to harm. Yajaira's family continue to be supported by specialist officers, and we are keeping them updated with developments. 'I understand the impact this news may have on our local community, however we do have a man charged and in custody and we are not searching for anyone else at this stage. The man and Yajaira are believed to be known to each other. 'Detectives continue to investigate the circumstances and there are crime scenes in place across Camden and Lambeth. We thank the community for their patience while we carry out our enquiries and ask that any one with information please comes forward.'

Thousands of demonstrators march through Rome to call for end to war in Gaza
Protesters held a banner reading 'Stop the massacre, stop complicity!' at the start of the march, which moved peacefully through the centre of Rome amid a massive display of rainbow, Palestinian and political party flags. The protest attracted a diverse crowd from across the country, including many families with children. According to organisers, up to 300,000 people participated in the rally organised by the leftist opposition to ask the government for a clear position on the conflict in Gaza. 'This is an an enormous popular response to say enough to the massacre of Palestinians and the crimes of (Israeli leader Benjamin) Netanyahu's government,' the leader of Italy's centre-left Democratic Party, Elly Schlein, told reporters at the march. 'There is another Italy that doesn't remain silent as the Meloni government does,' she said, referring to Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni. Ms Meloni was recently pushed by the opposition to publicly condemn Mr Netanyahu's offensive in Gaza, but many observers considered her criticism too timid. '(The Italian government) is not reacting despite an abnormal massacre, despite an absolutely cruel and inappropriate reaction. The (Italian) government remains silent,' said Nadin Unali, a Tunisian demonstrator at the march. Earlier this week, the Italian premier urged Israel to immediately halt its military campaign in Gaza, saying its attacks had grown disproportionately and should be brought to an end to protect civilians. Israel faces mounting international criticism for its offensive and pressure to let aid into Gaza during a humanitarian crisis. Gaza has been under an Israeli blockade for nearly three months, with experts warning that many of its two million residents are at high risk of famine. The war broke out on October 7 2023, when Hamas-led militants launched a surprise attack on Israel, killing some 1,200 people, mostly civilians, and abducted 251 hostages. They are still holding 56 hostages, around a third of them believed to be alive. Since then, Israel has killed more than 54,000 Palestinians in its military campaign, primarily women and children, according to the Gaza Health Ministry, which does not distinguish between civilians and combatants in its figures.
