Charge in mutilation murder case

Geeta Aulakh worked as a receptionist at Sunrise Radio

A teenager has been charged with the murder of a woman who was found in a street with one of her hands cut off.

Mother-of-two Geeta Aulakh, a receptionist, was found in Greenford, west London, on 16 November.

Police believe the 28-year-old was attacked after leaving Sunrise Radio studios to pick up her two young sons.

Sher Singh, 18, of, Southall, west London, will appear at Ealing Magistrates' Court on Monday. Eleven other people are currently on bail.

The 11, who include Mrs Aulakh's husband, were bailed earlier this week while inquiries into the case continue.

Mrs Aulakh was found a short distance from the home of the childminder of her two boys, who are aged eight and nine.

A post-mortem examination found Mrs Aulakh had died from a head injury.

Police are trying to find out whether she was attacked elsewhere and dumped on the pavement in Braund Avenue, at its junction with Verulam Road.
