Detectives are appealing for anyone with information to come forward after a woman died following a burglary at her home.

On Tuesday, 11 August at around 21:20hrs, police were called to reports of an aggravated burglary in Tollington Park, Finsbury Park.

Officers attended alongside the London Ambulance Service.

A 75-year-old woman was assessed at the scene by paramedics and taken to hospital. She sadly died the following day at 21:39hrs. Her family continue to be supported by specialist officers.

A post-mortem examination will take place in due course.

An 81-year-old man was also treated at the scene for injuries and taken to hospital, before being discharged the following day.

The investigation continues at pace as detectives work to establish the full circumstances and review key evidence. A crime scene remains in place at the address and along Evershot Road.

Detective Chief Inspector Ben Massink, who is leading the investigation, said: “We’re at an early stage of this investigation and awaiting a post-mortem examination to determine how the woman died, with my team working hard to pursue all lines of enquiry.

“A crime scene remains in place as we gather evidence.

“We thank those who have already come forward to provide witness accounts, and appeal for anyone with information or doorbell footage to come forward. We believe a number of residents in the area will have key information that could help inform our investigation. No detail is too small.”

Superintendent Mark Hambleton, a policing lead in the area, said: “Our thoughts remain with the woman’s family and friends at this unimaginably difficult time.

“We recognise the concern this will cause locally and can reassure the community that officers are working tirelessly to determine what happened.

“There will be an increased police presence in place while enquiries continue and we thank the public for their understanding at this time.”
