Tamilore was brutally murdered in her Texas flat.
Officers were called to the scene after a friend of her dad's raised the alarm when they couldn't get hold of her.
Blood was spotted on the rear patio, and cops broke into the two-bed flat.
A man, believed to be her flatmate, was discovered in a bedroom with stab wounds and rushed to hospital in a critical condition.
The two were said to be "complete strangers" and had only started living together a few weeks earlier, the Daily Mail reports.
The Houston Police Department confirmed in a statement: 'Officers were called to a residence at the above apartment complex for a welfare check.'
'They knocked on the door but did not receive an answer. Officers then discovered blood on the rear concrete patio and entered the apartment.'
'The female victim was discovered on the kitchen floor with multiple stab wounds. A male was discovered in a bedroom with at least one stab wound.'
'Responding Houston Fire Department paramedics pronounced the female deceased at the scene. The male was transported to an area hospital in critical condition.'
'The investigation is ongoing.'
The Sun has contacted Tamilore's family and the UK Foreign Office for more information.

Deviant Scots mum at heart of monkey torture ring ‘watched beheading videos' before getting involved in sick plot
She said watching the horror clips was "almost a way of life" MONKEY MANIAC Deviant Scots mum at heart of monkey torture ring 'watched beheading videos' before getting involved in sick plot Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) A SICKO mum who helped arrange the torture killings of baby monkeys got hooked on 'gore' by watching videos of beheadings, we can reveal. Natalie Herron, 39, told fellow sadists how she binged on horrendous online clips of humans being decapitated, boasting: 'It goes beyond a hobby. It's almost a way of life.' Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 3 Monkey torture maniac Natalie Herron has been caged for more than two years 3 She was involved in a secret group of sickos who revelled in animal abuse clips 3 Sarah Kite of advocacy group Action For Primates hopes for more prosecutions Her depraved hobby emerged after she was jailed for helping to lead a worldwide monkey abuse ring, which paid thugs to rip tiny macaques from their mothers in Indonesia then butcher them on camera. The terrified animals were killed in agonising ways dreamt up by the group, including by crucifixtion, with the videos shared for kicks. Herron, of Airdrie, opened up to lowlife pals on encrypted messaging apps where she traded her stash of over 1,000 vile images and videos. She told other fiends: 'It's been a pleasure getting to know you all. 'I've built up a few amazing online relationships. 'Our private mails would have the normies turning in their graves. 'Before I got into monkey hate I always had a fascination for gore. Used to watch beheadings. 'Makes life much brighter knowing I'm not the only one who has monkey serial killer thoughts. 'Watching monkey torture always lulls me to sleep in the best way.' It is feared Herron has amassed an army of twisted followers, with thousands of others thought to be hooked on animal kill films. Her harrowing videos also saw young primates being hacked with machetes, dipped in boiling oil and having their skulls drilled. Katie Price slammed for 'putting puppy in danger' as fans warn 'you need to keep your pets safe!' Mother-of-two Herron hid her evil obsession by pretending to be an animal lover. She swapped pictures of pets, describing another brute's Staffie as 'a looker'. Herron wrote: 'I had a Staffy bef- ore I got my little furrball I have now. Rayne. 'She was the most tender, loving and loyal dog ever. They don't call them 'nanny dogs' for nothing. They're amazing with kids.' The Scottish Sun yesterday unmasked Herron by printing the first picture of her since she was caged for two years and three months at Airdrie Sheriff Court last Tuesday. As her group's administrator, she ran polls for monsters to vote on torture methods — including glueing the baby monkeys' hands and feet together before pepper spraying them, or force-feeding them until they died. She took warped delight when one bewildered primate was stuffed in a jar filled with biting fire ants, telling followers: 'We've got our ants in jars. Phenomenal!' We can reveal she also boasted how she did not 'give a s**t who knows I hate monkeys' and of her joy at seeing them 'blitzed in a blender and scalped'. And she bragged to pals about seeing one be crushed and suffocated. She said gleefully: 'Haven't you seen the video where the cellotape it into a ball? It's awesome.' And she added: 'People go around as if it's some ardinal sin, like we're committing the worst atrocities by watching monkey abuse vids.' Herron hid her debauched online life telling cronies family and friends would 'never look at me the same again'. She said the sadistic circle 'goes beyond a hobby — it's almost a way of life now lol.' But she was finally snared when US cops took down group ringleader Michael Macartney, 51, whose alias was 'The Torture King'. Scots cops found 1,084 images and videos of monkey torture on her iPhone. She admitted possessing and distributing obscene material between October 2021 and September 2022. But last night campaigners warned her ties to the torture network could have been over a longer period. Sarah Kite, of advocacy group Action for Primates, said: 'Natalie Herron has been involved in depraved and vile activity.' 'There are thousands of people involved in looking at this type of content, whether it be in any of the private Telegram groups or on Facebook. 'I would be concerned about them having contact with animals or children, seeing what they're capable of and what the sort of things that they enjoy. 'I think it's highly disturbing. I hope more people will be caught. 'I'm sure there'll be more both in the US and hopefully in the UK as well.' Nina Jackel, of Lady Freethinker, said: 'The torture and killing of helpless, infant macaques is among the most disturbing abuse cases I have seen in more than a decade.' Detective Inspector Mark Harrison, of the National Wildlife Crime Unit, warned: 'There are proven links between those involved in animal cruelty and violence towards people.' And the Scottish SPCA said: 'These videos are part of a broader culture of cruelty that must be tackled."

Warped ‘incel' students referred to anti-terror scheme after shock rise in sexual violence on UK campuses
Incel misogyny, highlighted in Netflix drama Adolescence, is said to be behind increasing reports of campus assaults UNI INCEL FEAR Warped 'incel' students referred to anti-terror scheme after shock rise in sexual violence on UK campuses Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) NINE university students have been referred to the Prevent anti-terrorism scheme over incel ideology, figures show. Home Office statistics revealed a shocking rise in sexual violence on campuses over the last three years. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up Incels — 'involuntarily celibate' men — have hostile views on women and often follow toxic online influencers such as Andrew Tate, pictured above. Two higher education students were referred to Prevent in 2023/2024, five in 2022/23 and two in 2021/2022. Incel misogyny, highlighted in Netflix drama Adolescence, is said to be behind increasing reports of campus assaults. A total of 2,164 female students reported males for sexual assault and rape in the last three years. Some universities have admitted horrifying details of how women have been abused. One at City St George's at the University of London was threatened by a man who said: 'I hope your door is locked or I'm gonna come and rape you.' Some suspects had to write a letter of apology, attend a course on sexual consent or were banned from their own graduation ceremony. Others had to move out of student halls. Andrea Simon, Director of the End Violence Against Women Coalition, said: 'When a woman reports sexual violence, it is imperative she is supported and meaningful action taken.' A spokesman for Universities UK said: 'Sexual misconduct is unacceptable on campus.'

Huge compensation sum paid to seven wrongfully jailed Scots prisoners revealed
Payouts are granted when new evidence shows 'beyond reasonable doubt' inmates were wrongly convicted Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) MORE than £3million has been paid out to wrongfully jailed prisoners, we can reveal. Figures show the compensation cash was handed to seven lags released due to miscarriages of justice in the last decade. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 1 More than £3million was paid out to seven lags who were wrongfully imprisoned Credit: Alamy Some £1.2million was split by five innocent cons between 2015 and 2020 while another two have shared £1.99million in the last five years. Payouts are granted when new evidence shows 'beyond reasonable doubt' inmates were wrongly convicted — or there was a 'serious default' or error by cops or authorities. Scottish Labour warned Nats ministers' 'neglect' of the system could lead to taxpayers stumping up for more payouts. Justice spokeswoman Pauline McNeill said: 'One case of wrongful imprisonment is too many and every effort must be made to prevent these miscarriages of justice occurring. 'That is why it is extremely important to closely scrutinise any changes to the criminal justice system to ensure they do not risk creating miscarriages of justice.' She added: 'There is a real risk that the pressure on our justice system caused by SNP neglect and the dwindling number of defence lawyers could contribute to this problem. 'First and foremost, we must try to prevent miscarriages of justice because of the human cost, but there are also millions being taken from frontline services to pay for these appalling mistakes.' Scotland's most famous miscarriages of justice include Patrick Meehan who received a royal pardon after being wrongfully convicted of the 1969 murder of Rachael Ross in Ayr. In 1973, Stuart Gair was wrongfully jailed for the murder of Margaret McLaughlin in Carluke. And Joe Steele spent 18 years in jail for the Ice Cream War murders after being wrongly convicted of starting a fire which killed six members of the Doyle family in 1984. First convicts leave Barlinnie after Scottish Government release 360 prisoners early due to overcrowding Ministers across the UK have also been forced to apologise for the wrongful prosecution of hundreds of Post Office subpostmasters - some of whom served jail sentences.
