Man charged with murder of Swedish woman

LONDON (AFP) - A homeless Uganda-born man was on Saturday charged with murdering a Swedish woman whose body was found next to a road in Cambridgeshire, police said.

Jamal Bakhit, 24, will appear before magistrates in Highbury Corner, London, on Monday accused of killing Rahmona Ahmedin, 23.

Her body was found on Wednesday by a lorry driver in a lay-by at Hinxton in Cambridgeshire, police said.

The victim, who lived in London, had been stabbed and her body placed in a suitcase that was set on fire.

She had been reported missing on June 14. Police believe she was killed at her home.

A post-mortem examination gave the cause of death as a stab wound to the chest.

Bakhit was arrested on Friday after walking into a south London police station.
