Tributes have been paid to a 19-year-old found dead at a property in Kingston.

Celine Dookhran was found dead at an address in Coombe Lane West last Wednesday (July 19). She is believed to be from south London.

A post-mortem examination revealed the cause of Miss Dookhran's death was a neck wound.

In a statement, the family of Miss Dookhran said: "Celine Dookhran was an amazingly talented and loving daughter who brought happiness, joy and laughter to her family and friends. We are proud of Celine for everything she had achieved and were looking forward to seeing a loving, caring and innocent young girl fulfil her potential in life and carry on making us proud.

"We have sincere belief and full confidence that the perpetrators will face the full force of the law. We would like to reiterate our thanks to all that have offered their support and ask everyone to pray for both victims and their immediate families, and that the vile individuals involved face the full weight of justice upon them."

In her final message on Twitter on July 11, a week before she was killed, Ms Dookhran wrote: “Alhamdulilah (praise to God) for everything that’s all I can say.”

Following the news of her death, one of her Twitter followers said: "Innalillahe wainna ilaye rajeeon ["We belong to Allah and to Him we shall return."]

"RIP Celine, You did not deserve what has happened, May Allah grant you a place in Paradise. Inshallah."

Another user posted: "RIP Celine, you were very beautiful and you will never be forgotten."
