Elizabeth Nnyanzi, a 31-year-old contract paralegal and aspiring attorney with global legal giant Herbert Smith Freehills, was found dead Friday evening at her home in the northwest London suburb of Harrow.
On Monday, a 23-year-old auto mechanic named Peter Kibisu was charged with her murder. Local news reports, citing police sources, suggest that Kibisu and Nnyanzi knew one another. Nnyanzi was found unresponsive in the semidetached home in Harrow that she shares with her mother and her father, Joseph, a lawyer from Uganda. The trainee lawyer had set aside her medical studies to pursue a legal career and dreamed of becoming a barrister, according to news reports.
