Man extradited from the UAE to appear in London court charged with woman's murder

A man has been charged with the murder of a 27-year-old woman in London two years ago after being extradited from the United Arab Emirates.

Enzo Bettamio, 18, was put on a flight from Dubai to the UK on Friday and then formally charged with the murder of Kamonnan Thiamphanit, who was also known as Angela.

He will appear at Westminster Magistrates' Court on Saturday.

Ms Thiamphanit was found dead at her home in Stanhope Place near Hyde Park on the morning of 8 April 2024 after police forced entry to the property. She had suffered multiple stab wounds.

Metropolitan Police Detective Chief Inspector Alison Foxwell, who is leading the investigation, said: "I would also like to express my sincere thanks to Angela's family and friends for their patience and unwavering support to the investigation, throughout what has been an incredibly difficult and distressing time for them."

The Met had referred itself to the Independent Office for Police Conduct following the murder, after officers were contacted twice by friends of Ms Thiamphanit the day before her body was discovered.

The case was graded as a medium-risk missing person inquiry before officers forced entry and discovered the 27-year-old, who had Chinese, Hong Kong and Thai nationality.
