A woman found dead in a car in Hackney, east London, was tonight named by Scotland Yard as Kirsty Treloar, 20, who was believed to have been abducted from her home in Brownlow Road, Hackney.
The 20-year-old was pronounced dead minutes after she was discovered in a grey Fiat Stilo in Ryder Mews, Hackney, east London, having suffered stab wounds.
She is thought to have been kidnapped from an address in Brownlow Road, also in Hackney, earlier today.
Police and London Ambulance Service were called to Brownlow Road at around 7.10am today after reports of a disturbance at a residential address.
The 20-year-old woman was reported to have been abducted by a suspect who fled in a grey Fiat Stilo, Scotland Yard said.
A 22-year-old man and a 24-year-old woman were taken from the home to an east London hospital after suffering stab wounds.
The man is said to be in a stable condition and the woman was treated for a minor injury.
A property on Brownlow Road was cordoned off with police tape this afternoon as officers examined the scene.
Neighbours living on the same residential street described hearing a "hysterical" cry coming from the property at around 6am today.
A woman living close to the three-storey home described how she was woken at around 5.30am before hearing "a female sounding extremely distressed".
The woman, 45, who did not give her name, added: "I don't know what woke me up.
"It was some time at around six or just after that I heard a noise. I thought it might be foxes fighting which can sound quite human.
"Then I thought, No, it's definitely not, it sounded like a young woman in distress. It was very short-lived and stopped quite abruptly.
"It sounded like she was a bit hysterical."
Terry Tundervary, 58, a builder, said: "They seemed to be a very friendly family. I used to say hello to the girl.
"If it's the girl I think it is, she's got a little baby.
"She was a pretty girl, a very normal girl, the whole family was very friendly although I didn't know their names. I just knew them to say hello to as neighbours do.
"I believe the girl's dad, he may have been her step-dad, came from the US or Canada. I think he was a binman for Hackney Borough Council."
Retired couple Mary and David Ward, both in their 70s, said they were shocked to hear what had happened at the property so close to their home.
Mr Ward, 70, added: "It's a terrible shock. We couldn't believe all this happened, it's a real tragedy.
"The area is pretty good really, we've lived here nearly 30 years and it's the first time anything like this has occurred.
"We have never had any trouble - we didn't know the family but the young girl seemed to be very nice when we saw her to say hello to."
Another neighbour in Brownlow Road, who did not want to be named, said he heard what sounded like a window breaking early this morning and a person shouting "Please, please, please".
A police spokesman said a one-month-old baby girl was in the semi-detached house at the time of the attack.
She was uninjured but taken to hospital as a precaution, he said.
A tarpaulin covered one of the ground-floor windows this afternoon and police remained at the scene.
Forensics officers were also examining Ryder Mews where the car was found. The area was cordoned off with police tape.
