A 27-year-old woman from Hyderabad, who was studying a master of science course in the United Kingdom, was allegedly stabbed to death at her accommodation in London, the UK Metropolitan police said.

The Met police said two men have been arrested in connection with the murder that took place at a residential property in Neeld Crescent, Wembley in London on Tuesday.

While the murder victim is yet to be formally identified by the police in the UK, reports from India indicated it was Kontham Tejaswini -- a young professional from Hyderabad.

A post-mortem examination is scheduled, following which the police are expected to formally release her identity but th Tejaswini's family members, who live in Hayathnagar area of Hyderabad, on Wednesday said they got information that she was "attacked" in the flat, a shared accommodation.

"We came to know about the incident today morning. We don't know when it happened. We got the information that she is serious and in hospital," Tejaswini's father told a news channel.

She had gone to London three years ago and had completed her MS course there, her father said. -- PTI
