Linah Keza, 29, had a police panic alarm installed at her
flat in Leyton, east London, where she was killed in front of her
three-year-old daughter on Wednesday morning.
Miss Keza’s former boyfriend, named locally as club
promoter David Kikawa, 38, was later arrested on suspicion of murder after
handing himself in to police and remains in custody.
Friends say there had been months of rowing between the
on-off couple who were well known on London's African party scene.
Last night, the Metropolitan Police alerted the
Independent Police Complaints Commission over fears it could have done more to
protect the victim.
Miss Keza's daughter Holly was discovered crying beside
her body as the attacker rushed out of her home.
Officers were called to her home at 4.30am on Wednesday
by neighbours who heard screaming and thumping.
They discovered the pastor’s daughter had been viciously
attacked.
One neighbour described how he was confronted by the
killer when he broke down the front door of the Rwanda-born model’s flat.
He said: ‘I was outside and I heard some shouting and
screaming and I ran to the door. A woman was saying,“Kick the door in”, so I
did and came face to face with the guy.
‘I could see the woman, there was lots of blood and she
was lying half in the bedroom and half out. The little girl was next to her.
‘I asked the man what he was doing and told him if he
wanted to fight someone, he should fight me.
He went as if to fight me but he just ran out of the
building. I tried to help the woman but there was no pulse. The little girl was
just standing there, it looked like she was in shock.’
