A man has been extradited from Dubai and charged with the murder of a woman in Westminster two years ago.

Kamonnan Thiamphanit, known as Angela, was stabbed to death at a £4 million Airbnb near Hyde Park in April 2024.

Enzo Bettamio, 18, was flown back to the UK on Friday following joint enquiries by the Metropolitan Police and specialist lawyers in the Crown Prosecution Service’s extradition and international units.

Ms Thiamphanit was found by police at the Grade II-listed property in Stanhope Place, Bayswater, at around 8.30am on Monday April 8, 2024, with multiple stab wounds.

She was declared dead at the scene.

Bettamio will appear at Westminster Magistrates’ Court later today.

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.
