Murder Investigation Launched after Body Found in Finsbury Park
Following the discovery of a body at the edge of the old cricket pitch in Finsbury Park, the Metropolitan Police have concluded that a person died in suspicious circumstances and have launched a murder inquiry.
The police believe that the young woman who was found died on Christmas Eve. The body was relatively well hidden by the old equipment hut so it remained hidden until today.
While the surrounding 'scene' is searched for any possible evidence, the whole American Gardens section of the park is closed including the Endymion Road entrance along with the one next to the old cricket pitch on Green Lanes.

The Manor House gate is open, the one I’ve mentioned above on Green Lanes is closed. Is there another one?

Truly devastating. Thinking of her family. When appropriate would be nice to show some community solidarity and support to her family in some way.

Hi
This news release was issued by the Metropolitan police about 6.50pm tonight, December 28. No arrests so far, not for me to give advice, but some extra caution may be wise, until the suspect(s) is caught.
I can not post the release directly, but have copied and pasted it. Condolences to the friends and family of the woman we have lost.

We are still trying to piece together a timeline of events and are pursuing a number of lines of enquiry as regards to a motive"
