On Thursday, there was a police cordon at the property in Darell Road, and forensic experts were seen working on the doorstep.

There was also police activity in the back garden as well as in an alleyway behind the house which separates Darell Road and Niton Road.

A large police cordon has been put in place around the scene in Darell Road which extends to cover the garden and passageway area at the back of the terraced property.

With the noise of playing children echoing from a nearby school, forensics officers in blue suits could be seen erecting a large tent, with evidence markers visible down the narrow alley between a number of homes.

Glimpse of forensics tent

The white tent you can just about see in this picture seems to be the focus of police activity.

It’s likely to the site of the shallow grave discovered last night:

So sad to see this news. I worked with her a couple years ago and she was such a lovely person.

Nigel on Twitter feels today's events are a worrying change for Kew

He wrote in the last few minutes:

I’m old enough to remember when living in Kew didn’t involve carjackings, stabbing of businessmen, murder and shallow graves.

Sad to hear that @smucklecrumble. So hard when it happens to someone we knew that's involved. x

This property must either be where Laureline lived or someone known to her surely? Of course no info from LE, but hoping they have a perpetrator in their sights.

"Neighbour Bob Bassett, 75, described Ms Garcia-Bertaux as a quiet lady, who would stop to talk about her two dogs.

He said that as far as he knew she lived in the ground-floor flat alone, and added: "I never saw a boyfriend."

Paul Watkins, 63, who lives nearby, said he had seen her last week walking her dogs with a "scruffy-looking geezer".

"All she would speak about is her dogs and saying how she did not get on with a couple of her neighbours," he said.

Another neighbour, who did not want to be named, said others on the street had seen a man visiting the property "now and again", but added: "I did not see her very much."
