Miss Africa contestant found stabbed to death next to her crying daughter.

A young model was found stabbed to death with her three-year old-daughter 'crying next to her in a pool of blood', friends said today.

The body of Linah Keza, 29, understood to have taken part in Miss Africa 2010, was found at a flat in King Edward Road, Leyton, early yesterday morning.

She is believed to have had a panic button installed by police.

The case has been referred to the Independent Police Complaints Commission, which will look at contact police had with her and a 38-year-old man who has been arrested over her death. 

London Ambulance Service paramedics accompanied police to the address just before 4.30am, but Linah, a Rwandan national living in London, was pronounced dead at the scene.

It is understood that her daughter was at the address at the time of the attack, according to a family friend.

The ease with which life is been forcefully snuff out of young people today is alarming. So much death with yet so much to achieve. It only points to one thing – the heart of men is becoming even more wicked. Every little misunderstanding should not end in a death. What would now happen to the little girl.
