The murder investigation into the death of Bethany-Maria Beales after she plunged to her death from the 19th floor of a luxury apartment block in London on Saturday continues.
The 22-year-old fell from the 36-storey development The Heron Building in the City of London - where apartments can cost up to £10million.
Police have arrested a man and a woman on suspicion of murder. They have both since been bailed.

The troubled singer tweeted a week ago today on May 24: "If anyone wants to start to understand my mental issues and the reason ive (sic) tried to end my life multiple times, listen to @LanaDelRey Ultraviolence and it will explain everything".
Ultraviolence, the title track for Lana Del Rey's 2014 album, is a song about being in a violent relationship.

Friends and relatives paid tribute to Bethany-Maria, who graduated from a drama, ­performance and theatre arts studies course last year at Roehampton ­University in South West London.
Her family said in a statement: “Beth was a kind, funny, loyal, intelligent, talented and beautiful person who changed the lives of everyone fortunate enough to know her and lucky enough to be loved by her.
“She had the brightest smile and the most beautiful singing voice. She was our songbird.
“She had an amazing talent that, if it had been seen by the world, would have become known to millions.
“She was more than a daughter, granddaughter, niece, cousin, step-sister, step-auntie, god-daughter or friend. She was the world to us all.
“To say we will miss her does not come close to describing how we feel. Our world will never be as bright again now that our shining star has gone.”

Bethany-Maria, who died on Saturday, was said to have had plans to travel to Ibiza.
