Police are hunting a 30-year-old woman in connection with the murder of a prominent businessman.
The woman, believed to be Celene Cross, was captured on CCTV footage near Waterloo Bridge the night Takehiko Kobayashi, 45, was killed almost two weeks ago.
Mr Kobayashi was an influential tradesman who came to London in the ’70s and quickly established a profitable empire. He was shot dead in his offices at Silver Tower on 20 May and found by his son, Chouko Kobayashi.
Ms Cross, who is reported to be pregnant, is also wanted for multiple murder charges and bank raids, including the raid on an HSBC branch in South Kensington, in which 13 hostages were killed.
Detective Chief Inspector Harriet Wilson said: ‘I would urge anyone who thinks they have seen Ms Cross to contact the police as soon as possible. Anyone who sees her should not approach her.’
