Detective Superintendent Brian Hobbs said: 'Our thoughts today are with the victim's family and friends in light of this truly tragic event. 'Although we have now made arrests, local residents will continue to see an increased number of officers in and around the area while our investigative work is carried out. 'I would ask anyone who was in the area of Romford, who may have seen or heard anything suspicious, to speak to us.' Ms Mukhtar's family said: 'Zahwa was a kind and loving person with high aspirations in life and her presence brought warmth to those around her. 'She was dearly loved by her family and friends. 'Zahwa's tragic loss has left us heartbroken, and she will be truly missed by all who knew and loved her. 'Her memory will live on in our hearts forever.'
