Tragedy as woman found dead in horrific ‘swamp’ flat – with neighbours saying her body may have been there for weeks
A WOMAN has been found dead in a horrific “swamp” flat – with her neighbours saying her body may have been undiscovered for weeks.
The body was found at Tabard Gardens Estate, Southwark, South London, last week.
It is understood a family living in the flat below raised the alarm.
The shocking discovery came after nearly one year of residents complaining leaks were coming from the property.
One neighbour said he was gobsmacked by the woman’s living conditions when he went to talk to her about a leak.
Jeffrey Boachie-Frimpong, 35, who lives below the woman’s flat, told Southwark News: “I was greeted by a lady who was extremely distraught and explained her leak had been ongoing for many months previously.
An housing officer forced entry into the flat where he found the woman lying in the bathroom.
Police confirmed the body was found at the Newcomen Street flat on Friday, January 6.
