One man is being questioned about the death of a teenage girl in a suspected hit-and-run. Another, aged 30, is being quizzed after a woman was found dead at her home in Lewisham.

Simmone Hedges, 19, died yesterday, five days after she was spotted by a passer-by lying injured in Brampton Road, Hillingdon, just yards from her home. She is believed to have been struck by a car.

She was taken to Hillingdon Hospital with multiple injuries and later transferred to the Royal Free, where she died yesterday morning.

Police described her injuries as "consistent with a road traffic collision" but said they had begun a murder investigation.

In separate incident, police were called to a home in Cornmill Lane, Lewisham, yesterday by paramedics who were sent there to treat a badly injured woman. She died less than two hours after an ambulance crew arrived.

It is thought she knew the man arrested in connection with her death but police are trying to establish the nature of their relationship.

A Met Police spokesman said both the arrested men had been freed on bail.
