Tributes to ‘hardworking’ nurse found dead in Leeds flat.
A 28-year-old woman found dead along with a man in a flat in Leeds is believed to have been a nurse who was due to be married.
The body of Nigerian Nnenna Chima was found with that of Thomas Oko, 32, from Bradford, at the property in Dawlish Road, Osmondthorpe, on 29 April.
Police are treating her death as suspicious and are not looking for anyone else in relation to the deaths.
Ms Chima was reported missing shortly before the incident.
It is believed she was a UK-registered nurse originally from Ebonyi State, Nigeria and working in Leeds.
In a social media post, she was described as “hardworking” and “dedicated”.
Writing on Facebook, Sa Rah described her death as “a big loss most especially to the family [but also ] to the society at large”.
Chima Henry added: “Nnenna my heart is broken, I’m still in shock the way you left us without saying goodbye.”
It is thought Ms Chima had recently returned from Nigeria after a traditional marriage introduction.
Last week was also said to be her birthday.
Det Ch Insp Stacey Atkinson who is investigating the case said: “ A number of enquiries remain ongoing regarding this incident, but I can reiterate that we do not think a third party was involved in either death.
“Officers will prepare a file for the coroner and as part of those enquires we do continue to appeal for witnesses and information.”
