In a news release issued Tuesday afternoon, police identified 23-year-old Nyumwai Caroline Mkurazhizha as the woman who was strangled on the weekend.
The woman was pronounced dead in hospital on Saturday, after police found the victim "suffering from apparent trauma to the body" in a Clancy Drive home.
Police have said that the cause of her death was "manual strangulation."
