Nur will appear at Croydon Magistrates’ Court on Friday.

At the time of her murder, Ms Dogbey was reportedly on her way home from buying a birthday gift for her mother and speaking on the phone to her grandmother, who heard “a terrible scream”.

Ms Dogbey was walking when she was attacked from behind by a stranger, detectives believe.

Her loved ones described her as a “smart, dedicated and loving girl who always helped anyone”.

In a statement released through London's Metropolitan Police, they said: “She hasn’t got one bad bone in her body. She wouldn’t hurt a fly.

“We can’t believe a senseless crime like this has happened as we can’t imagine who would do this to her.”
