A 66-year-old woman has been taken into custody on suspicion of murder following the discovery of a 69-year-old woman who had been fatally stabbed in her residence in north London.
Emergency responders arrived at the scene in Mornington Place, Camden, after receiving a call regarding an unresponsive individual at approximately 6:00 PM BST on Friday, June 13.
