A MAN has appeared in court in East London this morning charged with murder following the discovery of a woman’s body in a house by police investigating a road crash.
Officers discovered the body of 27-year-old Camille Mathurasingh at the house in Arrow Road, Bromley-by-Bow (pictured, above).
They were following up a crash three miles away in Whitechapel (top) in which a Nissan Micra careered out of control and flipped over on the A11 Whitechapel Road on Friday afternoon, at the traffic lights with Cambridge Heath Road, when they found Camille’s body at the house.

She had died from multiple stab wounds, according to a post mortem examination at Poplar Mortuary yesterday (Monday).
The Nissan driver was rescued from the crash on Friday afternoon and taken to the nearby Royal London Hospital with cuts to his face, neck and hands. He was detained for treatment, but not to be seriously hurt.
