Man extradited to the UK as part of murder investigation

A man has been charged with murder following his extradition from the United Arab Emirates to the UK.

The charge relates to the stabbing of 27-year-old Kamonnan Thiamphanit, which took place in Westminster in 2024.

Kamonnan, who was also known as Angela, was found by police at her home address in Stanhope Place, W2 at around 08:30hrs on Monday, 8 April 2024. She was located with multiple stab wounds and sadly pronounced dead at the scene.

Since the launch of the investigation, Met officers have carried out a significant number of enquiries.

On Friday, 24 April police successfully extradited Enzo Bettamio, 18 (20.08.2007), of no fixed address on a flight from Dubai to the UK. This followed joint enquiries by the Met and specialist lawyers in the CPS’s extradition and International Units.

Bettamio was formally charged with Angela’s murder the next day.

He will appear at Westminster Magistrates’ Court on Saturday, 25 April.

Angela’s family are aware of the update and continue to be supported by specialist officers.

Detective Chief Inspector Alison Foxwell, who is leading the investigation said: “I would also like to express my sincere thanks to Angela’s family and friends for their patience and unwavering support to the investigation, throughout what has been an incredibly difficult and distressing time for them.”
