A teenager stabbed to death in her flat on Christmas Day has been named as Parwin Quriashi.
The 19-year-old victim was found by police and paramedics shortly before 1.30pm in the home she and her partner were understood to have moved into just two weeks ago.
Parwin was reportedly discovered after neighbours spotted a six-year-old child crying and distressed in the car park of the building.
Mohammad Qoraishi, 27, appeared in court today charged with the murder of Ms Quriashi.
Police said Ms Quriashi suffered significant injuries and confirmed she had died at the scene on Tuesday.
