Inquiry After Body Found In Sewage Plant
A murder inquiry is underway after the body of a woman was found in a sewage plant in south-east London.
Kaylene Lyle, 43, was found floating in a 10ft settlement tank at Britain's biggest sewage treatment facility in Abbey Wood.
A post mortem carried out found Ms Lyle had drowned, but she had also received extensive injuries from machinery.
It was originally believed the woman had committed suicide as two days earlier she ran away from a Tooting hospital in "an agitated state".
However, police have confirmed they are not ruling out murder, as marks were found on the 42-year-old's neck.
Her half naked body was discovered by workers of the plant on Friday.
An inquest into her death was opened and adjourned at Croydon Coroner's Court today, to establish the cause of death.
