Police are working to discover the identity of a woman found dead in north London alleyway.
The woman was found “unresponsive” on Grange Road in the shadow of Tottenham Hotspur Stadium at 1pm on Sunday.
She was pronounced dead at the scene of a long alleyway stretching behind homes and warehouses.
Neighbours said they heard screams of a woman in the early hours of the morning.
One told the Standard: “It is so sad. I think someone was killed. We heard screaming in the early morning it sounded like a man and woman arguing very loudly. I thought it was a husband and wife arguing so I tried to ignore them.
“I pressed stop on my film and heard them have another conflict.
“My mother heard the same thing.”
