A young woman who died in Tower Hamlets has been named and pictured for the first time.

Officers received reports of a 21-year-old woman being found unconscious in E14 on February 8, where they found Teddi Baker. She was pronounced dead at the scene, with a post-mortem taking place the following day. Details of that examination are yet to be revealed.

Cops believe there are several witnesses to the fight, and a woman in her 20s has been arrested on suspicion of murder. She has been released on bail.
