       Jalal Debella, 22, from Colindale, has been charged with her murder. Mr Debella did not enter a plea at Willesden Magistrates' Court and is due before the Old Bailey on Tuesday.

       On Saturday, the Metropolitan Police issued an appeal for people not to share the "enormously distressing" footage of the attack, which has spread on social media.

       A police spokesman said: "A small number of social media users have posted graphic footage of the attack. It is enormously distressing for grieving families. We ask that these posts are deleted and others not to share them."

       The Met Police previously confirmed that the attack was an "isolated incident" and no further suspects were being sought.
