London: A 26-year-old woman of Punjabi origin was shot dead in London, with a 31-year-old man appearing in court in connection with the case on Monday.
The woman was found critically injured with a gunshot wound at a house in west London last week. She was pronounced dead at the scene.
The Metropolitan Police said officers had visited a property on Chertsey Road in Hounslow to check on the woman’s welfare. They found her suffering from a gunshot wound. She was later identified as Navneet Kaur.
Soon after the incident, Rajat Jaswal, of Indian origin, was arrested. He appeared before Hendon Magistrates’ Court charged with murder and possession of a firearm with intent to endanger life.
Detective Sara Lee, who is leading the investigation, said her thoughts were with Navneet’s family and loved ones as they tried to cope with their devastating loss.
Police appeal for CCTV footage
Lee said charges had been brought against the accused, but the investigation remained ongoing. Police are seeking information from anyone who could assist with their inquiries.
Officers have also urged residents in the area to provide footage from security cameras outside their homes and from vehicle-mounted cameras.
According to police, officers attended the property on Chertsey Road last week and found Navneet Kaur critically injured with a gunshot wound. She was pronounced dead at the scene due to the severity of her injuries.
