Woman, 23, found dead in Islington - as six people arrested on suspicion of murder

A murder investigation has been launched after a 23-year-old woman was found dead.

Emergency crews were called to a residential address on Bollinder Place, in Islington, north London, shortly after 9.30am on Thursday.

The woman was found unresponsive, and she was pronounced dead at the scene.

Police are trying to trace her next-of-kin.

The Metropolitan Police said six people had been arrested on suspicion of murder. They include four women - aged 20, 21, 23 and 26 - and two men, aged 21 and 24.

They have all since been released on bail while enquiries continue.

Chief Superintendent Jason Stewart, who leads on policing in the local area, said: "This is a tragic incident and our thoughts remain with the family and friends of the young woman who has lost her life."

He added that "while enquiries remain ongoing, information available to us at this stage indicates this was an isolated incident and there is no wider risk to the public".

"Officers have been carrying out forensic examinations, reviewing available evidence and speaking to witnesses to build a full picture of the circumstances."

The Met is urging anyone who can help to contact them.
