A woman who was found dead at a north London home has been named as 51-year-old Angela Best.

Ms Best, from Tottenham, was found unresponsive at a house on Upper Holloway, Dartmouth Park Hill in Islington on the evening of last Thursday, December 15.

Paramedics found the woman at 7.35pm and she was pronounced dead at just before 8pm.

Police soon launched a murder investigation into her death.

No one has yet been arrested – but police are treating a man in his 60s, who was taken to an east London hospital on the same night, as a suspect.

His injuries are not thought to be suspicious and he remains in hospital in a serious but stable condition.

A post-mortem examination into the woman’s death did not provide a clear cause and officers are awaiting more tests.

Anyone with information that may assist the investigation is asked to call the incident room at Barking on 020 8345 3985 or Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.
