A woman found stabbed to death in a property in east London was known to a man who died on train tracks hours earlier, the Metropolitan Police has said.
The woman, aged in her 60s, was discovered with multiple stab wounds at a property on Bushy Close, Romford, at about 21:00 BST on Sunday.
Officers were called after British Transport Police (BTP) raised concerns for her welfare. She was pronounced dead at the scene and a murder investigation is under way.
Detectives believe her death is connected to that of a 20-year-old man who died earlier the same day on the tracks at Romford railway station, a Met spokesperson said. His death is being treated as non-suspicious.
