A TEENAGE girl died in her home last week after being savagely attacked with knife.

Samantha Conquest, 18, of Dagonet Gardens, off Shroffold Road, Grove Park, was found, suffering from multiple stab wounds by Lewisham police when they were called to her house on February 5.

A police doctor tried in vain to save her life but she was pronounced dead at the scene.

On February 7, magistrates at Woolwich Magistrates' Court committed Philip Dixon, 30, a mobile communications engineer from Battersea, for trial at the Old Bailey on February 15 charged with the murder of Miss Conquest.

Police are asking for anyone with information relating to the crime to call DCI Phillip Kent on 020 8217 6461 or anonymously on 0800 555 111.
