Police have launched an investigation to confirm the circumstances leading up to her death and have asked for witnesses to a fight on February 7 to come forward. 

Officers believe the fight in Dod Street by the alleyway leading to Limehouse Cut Canal involved a group of up to six people, including Teddi.

The fight was not reported to police at the time but they estimate it occurred between 10pm and 12.30am.

Det Insp Sufia Matin said: “This was an extremely tragic incident and we must investigate it thoroughly to understand exactly what has happened leading up to Teddi’s death.

"We are urging anyone who has any information or who may have witnessed a fight in the Dod Street area of Limehouse/Poplar during the times stated, to contact us immediately.

"We owe it to Teddi and her family to find out what happened and you could hold vital information we may need.”

A woman in her 20s was previously arrested on suspicion of murder but has since been released on bail to return at a later date. 

A post-mortem was carried out on February 9, with police now waiting on the outcome of further tests.
