A 30-year-old Indian-origin woman who had been missing for nearly a fortnight was found murdered on wasteland near London’s Heathrow airport with Scotland Yard appealing the public on Tuesday for information about the incident.

Pardeep Kaur was reported missing by a relative in October after she failed to turn up for work. Metropolitan Police detectives took over the investigation and formally identified the body last week.

Kaur, who was married and worked as a hotel housekeeper, was last seen alive on October 16. Her body was found by the police nearly a week after, during their search and it is believed she was strangled by a stranger on her way back home from work in southwest London.

“We have carried out extensive CCTV and house-to-house enquiries piecing together information about Pardeep’s last known movements. A key line of enquiry for this investigation continues to be that Pardeep was attacked by a stranger on her walk to work that morning, and sadly, was most likely murdered before she was reported missing,” said Metropolitan Police detective inspector Jamie Stevenson, from the homicide and major crime command.
