The murder scene has been sealed off

Police have named a man they wish to speak to about the murder of a woman whose body was found at a farm in Essex.

The Metropolitan Police is warning members of the public not to approach Doraj Miah, 19, who is of Bangladeshi origin and from Barkingside, Essex.

The body of 46-year-old Hazel Prager was found at Aldborough Hatch Farm in Hainault on Tuesday.

She was naked apart from her socks and an item of clothing wrapped around her neck, where she had slash wounds.

Ms Prager was single and a part-time teacher from Camden, north London.

Detective Chief Inspector Vic Rae of the Serious Crime Group East said: "Clearly this is a horrible attack on a defenceless woman.

"We are appealing to anyone who may have seen anything to contact police."

The body was discovered near a public footpath by a man passing on a bicycle at about 1315 BST.

The scene has been cordoned off for examination, and a pile of clothes found nearby is being sent for forensic examination.

A post-mortem was due to take place on Wednesday afternoon.
