A man has been charged with the murder of a woman who was found shot dead at a home in Hounslow last week.
Officers visited an address in Chertsey Road on the afternoon of Thursday 4 November to carry out a welfare check. Inside, they found 26-year-old Navneet Kaur with gunshot wounds. She was pronounced dead at the scene.
Rajat Jaswel, 31, of Chertsey Road, Hounslow, was arrested shortly after Ms Kaur was found. He has been charged with murder and possession of a firearm with intent to endanger life. He is due to appear at Hendon Magistrates’ Court today, Monday 9 November.
Detective Chief Inspector Sarah Lee, who is leading the investigation, said: “Our thoughts remain with Navneet’s family and loved ones as they continue to come to terms with this devastating loss.”
Ms Kaur’s next of kin have been informed and are being supported by specialist officers. The Metropolitan Police said its investigation remains ongoing and it is still keen to hear from anyone who may have information that could assist — particularly doorbell or dashcam footage from the area.
Anyone with information is asked to contact police on 101, quoting 01/8264940/26. Information can also be shared anonymously through the independent charity Crimestoppers on 0800 111 555.
It comes days after a murder investigation was launched in Woolwich, where a man died after being shot. Police are also appealing for information after a 23-year-old man was stabbed in Sydenham on Saturday evening.
Mr Jaswel has been charged, not convicted. Nothing in this article should be taken as a finding against him.
