The 36-year-old was walking along Cranbrook Road in the direction of Gants Hill station in Ilford when she was attacked in the early hours of Sunday morning and later died in hospital.

The woman had been subjected to a horrific assault and sadly passed away as a result of her injuries.

Speaking at a news conference this afternoon, Met Police Chief Superintendent Stuart Bell said she was the victim of an "opportunist stranger attack".

He said Ms Aleena, who was local to the area, "suffered multiple serious injuries that contributed to her death", but there is "no evidence at this time that weapons were used during the attack".

Moments after the briefing, the Met announced they have arrested a 29-year-old man.

A witness has described how an attacker approached Miss Aleena from behind and dragged her into a driveway after putting his hand over her mouth.

The man was then allegedly seen stamping on his victim repeatedly before leaving the scene, according to locals who captured the incident on CCTV and shared the material with police.

She said: “There was a man pacing up and down the driveway of the house opposite. We thought he was drunk. He was on the drive next to a white car that was parked there and was looking down at something.

We didn’t see anything other than him, but he was stumbling around on the drive and we thought he was drunk. We were watching out of the window. I was in my bedroom the whole time.”

She added: “We’ve heard from other residents that he came from behind her and put his hand on her mouth. She was behind the wall, he dragged her there. He was apparently stamping.

“My partner went out as he saw people standing there looking at something, I was looking from my bedroom window. My husband went out to see if the man was still there and saw the state of her… Then he phoned an ambulance.”

A local’s private CCTV camera caught her being dragged into the driveway. Someone local was walking past and saw that she was still breathing and tried to give her CPR.

This is absolutely sickening.
This poor poor lady!
RIP

I watched the cctv video in DM and the murderer seemed older than 29.
His gait seemed heavy.
I also thought he was drunk.
