On Tuesday 11th 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. Her family continue to be supported by specialist officers.

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

Detective Chief Inspector Ben Massink, who is leading the investigation, said " We're at an early stage of the investigation   and awaiting a post-mortem examination to establish 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 our investigation. No detail is too small.
