Following the discovery of 43-year-old Marianne Kilonzi, the head of Citi Bank, deceased in her home, police have opened an immediate investigation.

Police had to break into her apartment in Argyll Road, Woolwich, southeast London, just before 5.30pm on Friday.
Neighbours heard screaming at the time of the killing and were told by police a suspect is believed to have fled the country, as reported by Metro.
One said: “The poor woman was inside the flat with the door bolted. The police got in somehow but it was too late.
On Friday, January 17, at approximately 5:25 p.m., an officer arrived at the residence in Woolwich, south-east London, in response to welfare concerns. Marianne’s body was discovered inside.

She was found dead at around 5.25pm on Friday at her flat in Argyll Road, Woolwich.
