The sister of a health care assistant found dead this weekend has praised the 'extraordinary', 'kind' and 'friendly' woman. Esther Egbon, 30, was found dead with throat wounds in Dagenham at 1pm on Saturday.
Around two hours later Igie Erabor, 36, was discovered unresponsive in a nearby address, also with throat wounds. He was later declared dead at the scene.
It is thought that they were ex-partners. Ms Egbon worked night shifts at King George Hospital in Goodmayes. For the past five months she had been working at the forefront of the pandemic, treating coronavirus patients on a ward converted for that purpose.
