Two Sisters Found Dead in Fryent Country Park
Tragedy struck Fryent Country Park, Slough Lane, on Sunday, 7 June. Police were called at 1.08pm after two women were found unresponsive. Emergency services arrived quickly but sadly pronounced them dead at the scene.
While formal identification is pending, officers believe the victims are sisters Nicole Smallman, 27, from Harrow, and Bibaa Henry, 46, from Brent. Their next of kin have been informed, and specially trained officers are supporting the grieving family.
Birthday Gathering Turns Dark
Detectives revealed Nicole and Bibaa had been celebrating Bibaa’s birthday at the park on Friday evening with a group of around 10 people. Guests gradually left, leaving the two sisters alone. They were reported missing late Saturday night when they didn’t return home.
Police found the sisters’ bodies the next day, Sunday, 7 June. The deaths are being treated as suspicious. A murder investigation is underway, led by the Specialist Crime Command (Homicide), with help from the North West Command Unit.
Detective Chief Inspector Simon Harding said: “We are in the very early stages of the investigation and are working hard to find out what led to these two women losing their lives. Their families have been devastated by their loss and they need answers.”
Call for Witnesses
DCI Harding urged anyone who was in Fryent Country Park between Friday evening and Sunday lunchtime to come forward. The sisters were last seen near the Valley Drive entrance, a spot known for its views over London.
If you saw the group, noticed anything suspicious, or found any items that might be connected, no matter how small, contact police immediately.
