A 31-year-old man, Rajat Jaswel, has been charged with the murder of 26-year-old Indian-origin woman Navneet Kaur, who was found with fatal gunshot wounds at a home in west London's Hounslow. Jaswel appeared before Hendon Magistrates’ Court and also faces a firearm-related charge. Police have appealed for witnesses and CCTV, doorbell or dashcam footage.

London: A 31-year-old man appeared in court on Monday charged with the murder of a 26-year-old Indian-origin woman who was discovered with gunshot wounds at a west London home and pronounced dead at the scene last week.

The Metropolitan Police said the woman was discovered following a “welfare check” at Chertsey Road in Hounslow and later identified as Navneet Kaur. Rajat Jaswel, also of Indian heritage, was arrested shortly after and appeared at Hendon Magistrates’ Court charged with murder and possession of a firearm with intent to endanger life.

“Our thoughts remain with Navneet’s family and loved ones as they continue to come to terms with this devastating loss," said Detective Chief Inspector (DCI) Sarah Lee, who is leading the investigation.

"A man has been charged but our investigation remains ongoing and we are still keen to hear from anyone who may have information that could assist,” she said.
