A MURDER investigation is underway after the body of an unidentified woman was found in a Walthamstow park.

The body was discovered in the park in Queens Road, near to the community centre, at 5:50am this morning (Saturday May 30).

Police believe the woman, who is in her 30s and of Asian appearance, was attacked.

The London Ambulance Service was called after a passerby found the woman, but she was pronounced dead at the scene.

Two men, one aged 29, have been arrested and are being held at separate police stations in north and east London.

A post mortem has been scheduled to take place in the coming days.
