From the telegraph..

By Agencies4:28PM BST 04 Sep 2014
A woman has been beheaded in a back garden.
The victim was found at an address in Nightingale Road, Edmonton, north London, just after 1pm today.
Scotland Yard gave few details but said that a man has been arrested.
The force said: "Police were called to an address in Nightingale Road at 13.07pm today to reports of a stabbing incident.
"On arrival officers discovered a female collapsed in a garden area.
"A man has been detained and remains in custody.
"At this very early stage we are not in a position to give further details."
There is no suggestion that the killing had any terrorist motive.
Scotland Yard said a firearms officer had suffered a broken wrist in the course of arresting the 25-year-old man who is being held on suspicion of murder.
Detective Chief Inspector John Sandlin, leading this investigation, said: "This was a highly visible attack in broad daylight on a residential street. I can understand why this may cause people concern, however we are confident that we are not looking for anyone else at this stage.
"Whilst it is too early to speculate on what the motive behind this attack was I am confident, based on the information currently available to me, that it is not terrorist related.
"Local officers and specialist detectives are at the scene and will remain there for many hours to come.
"Specially trained family liaison officers will be deployed to support the family; we request that their privacy is respected at this very difficult time."

Scary.

What is "scary"?

OwnerOfAnInsanePuppy · 04/09/2014 16:42

Sorry, I meant that it is scary for this to happen. It feels close to home. Scary that people are motivated to do this. (What ever tha motivation may be, not speculating)

I imagine it was someone she knew - ex partner/partner.

OwnerOfAnInsanePuppy · 04/09/2014 16:42

And obviously I feel for the family and friends as well. (Hence the :( I the title)

I saw this on the BBC website too.

They said the next of kin had not yet been informed.

I think it's pretty shit that it's all over everywhere before her family have been told. Because that's a dreadful way to find out.

I hope they throw the book at whoever leaked the details. Or would it be ghouls listening in to emergency service comms and then the Internet did the rest?

OwnerOfAnInsanePuppy · 04/09/2014 16:45

Sorry, I didn't realise the family had not been told. Shall I ask for this to be deleted? Don't want t o upset anyone.

(Sorry OP, just realised that might sound like I was have a pop at you. It wasn't meant to be that, it was the rolling media who I think should have held back with the detail of likely nature of injuries).

Thisnicknameisnotallowed · 04/09/2014 16:47

Horribly sad, I did wonder when I saw it on the news whether the family had even been informed yet. Just awful.

GlacindaTheTroll · 04/09/2014 16:48

X-posts! No, I don't think this needs to be deleted because it is (whatever I think of the reptiles of the press) now widely published.

(Apologies again to you, Ownerofaninsaneapuppy)

MarthasVineyard · 04/09/2014 16:49

Thanks for sharing, OP Hmm

Zucker · 04/09/2014 16:49

May she rest in peace.

OwnerOfAnInsanePuppy · 04/09/2014 16:50

Xpost! No need to apologise. I should have checked. My fault.

Zucker · 04/09/2014 16:51

I don't know why the OP is getting a hard time for posting about this. It's plastered all over Sky and BBC fgs.

crazynanna · 04/09/2014 16:52

My son just called to see if I am home from work (I am) as I work very close to there and have actually worked yards from there recently.

Terrible. My heart goes out to the family and loved ones

OwnerOfAnInsanePuppy · 04/09/2014 16:54

Sorry Martha. I didn't mean to upset people and I didn't know the family hadn't been told.

Thanks Zucker.

It's all over the news as well. Poor woman.

MarthasVineyard · 04/09/2014 17:54

I just don't understand why anyone would be in such a rush to share this on MN.

ThePrisonerOfAzkaban · 04/09/2014 17:59

God MN is full of lovely people today
Not you OP, how sad for the lady, and her family. May she RIP

OwnerOfAnInsanePuppy · 04/09/2014 18:00

I wasn't in a rush? I was just sharing news. Just like lots of other posters do?

Anyway, I will report and get it deleted as this will obviously turn into a bun fight which is not what I want.

It sounds so horrible.

Police are apparently stressing that, despite beheading videos online, it's not considered to be a terrorist incident, they have someone in custody and are not seeking anyone else in connection.

(And it's likey to be a prominent story on the early evening news, people with Dc at large might want to flip to another channel now if on Beeb).

HibiscusIsland · 04/09/2014 18:04

I thought domestic violence/murder of a partner when I read it. Sad

Hakluyt · 04/09/2014 18:04

Why is it scarier than any other murder unless you live very close to the scene?

BuzzardBird · 04/09/2014 18:08

It's because it is a be-heading and those forriners live everywhere don't they? Hak

Bambambini · 04/09/2014 18:10

Because after the recent beheadings by Isis, maybe people's first thought this was some terrorist attack along the lines of Lee Rigby.

VivaLeBeaver · 04/09/2014 18:13

Don't see why the OP is getting such a hard time.

People are in a "rush" to post stuff on here all the time, from terrorist attacks, to celebrity deaths to natural disasters.

Something shocking appends and people talk about it whether here or in real life.
