More than 100 people have been killed in London for the sixth consecutive year – despite the capital being in lockdown for much of 2020. Last year, London saw its deadliest year in a decade, with more than 150 people killed. The bodies of Poorna Kaameshwari Sivaraj, 36, and son Kailash Kuha Raj were found at their home in Brentford, West London. It is thought Kuha Raj Sithamparanathan, Kailish's father and Ms Sivaraj's husband, fatally injured himself when officers forced entry. During lockdown, London saw a 25 per cent increase in calls to the National Domestic Abuse helpline.
