A woman who was found beaten to death in her flat in south-east London has been named as a vice president at financial giant Citibank. Marianne Kilonzi, 43, who was vice president of trade and working capital sales at the corporation, was found dead in her apartment in Argyll Road in Woolwich at around 5.25pm on Friday.
The Metropolitan Police have launched a murder investigation and say a manhunt is under way for her killer. Police were called to Ms Kilonzi’s address following a report of concerns for her welfare. Blunt force trauma and head injury were given as the cause of death at a post-mortem examination, which took place on Saturday, the force said.
