Shillong, June 14: In a tragic incident, a 27-year-old woman hailing from Hyderabad and studying in the United Kingdom was fatally stabbed at her accommodation in London.
The victim, identified as Kontham Tejaswini Reddy, had been residing with her friends in a residential property located in Neeld Crescent, Wembley.
