Murder
Patel-Nasri's home was in a neighbourhood with generally low crime rates, but the Saturday before her murder three men, initially believed to be burglars, attempted to enter her home but fled after they were confronted by her at around 10 pm.
On the evening of 11 May 2006, Patel-Nasri was reported to have gone outside her home carrying a chef's knife. It is believed that this was the murder weapon. A man wearing a hooded top was seen running away from the scene. During the subsequent trial, it transpired that Patel-Nasri had been stabbed inside her home and had staggered outside the front door before collapsing. She died in Northwick Park Hospital as a result of a stab wound to her left thigh.
